A return to Pine Island...

Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 6 April 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Sun, sand and salt water brought lots of smiles.
Kayla's grown so much since she last visited Pine Island with her daddy in 2005.

...I'm breaking from the family reunion photos until after Easter; more next week.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog; your comments are greatly appreciated. I apologize for not getting to all of your posts. I will visit as time permits.

Kayla is a love and surely a daily joy to your heart. As she grows, so that love and joy will increase.
