2. once you see a sandy naked baby bum running down the beach, laughing uncontrollably without restraint, a bathing suit becomes completely arbitrary. i mean, it's just the cutest damn thing.
3. charlie, a ten month old baby girl, was the inducted as the newest member of our vacation troupe this year. two very important lessons learned from charlie's appearance: for starters, i'm not ready to add another babe to the mix just yet. two just seems like so. much. work. also, i want to soak up more solo time with marlo during the magical age of two and three. secondly, i can't wait another moment to give marlo a sibling. seeing her be so incredibly enamored with little charlie was enough for my ovaries to pulse. every morning, marlo would greet that baby with an enthusiastic hiiiiiiii, charlie! followed by a kiss to her peach-fuzz-covered head and a gentle little squeeze around her belly. quite the conundrum i've gotten myself into.
4. six kids all under one roof are very, very loud. but it's a really good kind of loud, one that didn't make me want to hide in a dark room somewhere with a bottle of wine by my damn self. i actually quite enjoyed it. this isn't to say that i wasn't a loyal fan of nap-time, though.
5. for the first time in years, i have tan lines. apparently you can still get a tan while wearing spf 400.
