they've had enough

we went out to folly this weekend for the first time since susanna was born...our last trip out there was july 4 and 4 days later she arrived. folly is one of our favorite places in the world. we ate at the lost dog (YUMMY) and then walked on the beach. while we were out there we attempted to take some cute pixs of the girls together to possibly use for our christmas card. these are a few of the shots we got :)
