Lahlah knows how to work a camera. Her mom is a talented photographer and has been blessed with a lovely model.
The little imp is also a friendly soul, a lover of shells and pizza, and an active accomplice to her three year-old brother Bennett. She's also helpful, a good listener, and has taken her school motto to heart: what you give away you keep, what you keep you lose. Something like that.
We had such fun on the dunes at Jockey's Ridge on Tuesday. What a ball. I knew the kids eyes would pop when they saw all that sand. It's a marvel, and a terrific adventure. There's nothing quite like hurling yourself down a 100 foot dune and ending up unscathed. Di and I had sore calves; the kiddos had joy in their hearts.
There's something very English Patient about the place, the ripples and varied colors in the gazillions of grains the wind has blown in. Sometimes you get a little in your mouth and ears, but it's a good trade for the views of the ocean behind you and the sound in front of you. It's a treasure of our country, just as these sweet children as are to me.
