After Christmas, we went to a beach condo for some much needed R&R. Selah June loves staying at “beach hotels,” and this was no exception. Though the weather has been crappy — lots of fog and rain, we’ve had a great time visiting with Grandma and Madison and learning about shared family history using Ancestry. Jeremy and I are definitely kissing cousins, and Linda and Mom have had a lot of fun tracing all the branches back to Pennsylvania, looking at draft cards, the census, school yearbooks, and immigration papers. There is definitely a singing bent running through the men in Jeremy’s line. And Jeremy is the spitting image of his grandfather.

Selah June has played with Christmas toys, gone swimming multiple times, and watched movies before and after nap time. It’s been pj and coffee weather, and I’m not complaining.
