Dateline: August 2005Darren's Age: Nearly 4
[as was his sister]
Right before the twins' 4th birthday, my mother and father-in-law generously gave us their week of timeshare in Hilton Head. We rented a van, and spent a glorious 6 days...just the four of us together.
Who could have predicted the most memorable aspects were amongst the simplest? A week-long friendship with "Mr. Arnie and Mrs. Elaine" across the hall, coloring side-by-side at the living room coffee table, getting groceries from a walking distance Piggly Wiggly, a diner booth game of hand-stacking with Daddy. The rapt adoration on Darren's face says it all.

Oh yes, a holiday with just the little family is priceless. What a stunning memory and photo.
That IS a fun game....not like we still play that at 24 and 26 years old....but you know.
Hilton Head sounds so.....warm, and un-snowy, and like a great family spot!
PS- how's the new job going?
The simplest things are almost always the most memorable. Especially to our kids:)
Wait...what??? What Job? I must have missed some news somewhere. I'll have to hunt back and see what I missed.
Great picture--captures a sweet moment!
Oh how I love the simple memories!
Such a sweet, adoring look on his face! The week long trip sounds wonderful! Hopefully we can get a vacation in this summer with all 3 lil ones...but we're till at that stage where its not much of a 'vacation' with 3 lil ones in tow! haha!
