Here in Va Beach, Memorial Day is very special. There are so many military in this area that it's hard to forget, especially with fighter jets flying over your house daily, that we are at war. We want our girls to know this day to be grateful and to count their blessings that we live in a wonderful country and that people give up their lives for it.
But there is also another important meaning of this day in Va Beach...
The Beginning of Summer
This morning we were invited over to the Stahls for lunch and play date to help celebrate the day
And, this is the first time for Emma and Leah to meet! First friends!
Leah joined the Bonfiglio family on Mother's Day (what a wonderful present) and we are so excited to have her here and finally have pictures!
Emma and Leah are joined by their big sisters Lily and Kira. They each took turns giving the girls very gentle kisses once they began getting fussy. Melissa and I are very fortunate to have such good big helpers!
Once we got home, we decided to take some family pictures.
And to complete our day, Mike and I decided to do dinner and walk down at the oceanfront. This will be the first of many Memorial Days for our family and I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful beginning.
Had to capture Lily being camera shy after dinner and Mike and Lily on the playground down at the inlet. We had so much fun and definitely ran into better, warmer weather than last week.
Here's to a Wonderful Summer!
