life in delaware.

i can’t believe how quickly the summer days are flying by! it seems like everyone we know is go-go-go this year, more so than usual. the carmines are no exception. 

we recently returned home relaxed and recharged after two much-needed trips in july- rehoboth beach, DE with andy’s side of the family, then NC to visit my mom and dad (very low-key, i didn’t even take pictures). 

with less than 11 weeks left until charlie arrives, it finally hit me that life is about to get hella chaotic. but instead of consuming my thoughts with pregnancy and labor and “when’s he gonna get here?!”, i’m focusing on the family that’s here right now. instead of wishing the days away so i can be one day closer to meeting charlie, i’m appreciating moments for what they are. i’m enjoying uninterrupted mornings with my husband. i’m cherishing one-on-one time with beaners now more than ever, and spending “me time” actually focusing on ME without guilt. this plan includes doing a lot of things i know i won’t be able to do once i have 2 babes… kinda like my own personal bucket list!

what i enjoyed most about our vacations was the opportunity to step away from the pressure and responsibility of daily life and just relax. it’s such a foreign concept for me, always has been… relaxing is easy to do, just not easy for me to do. for the first time in a really long time, i didn’t constantly feel like there was something else i should be doing. ((oh, anxiety…. i shake my fist at you!!!)) 

anywho, here is a collection of my favorite pictures taken while in rehoboth. this post is total photo spam (shocker!!) but i couldn’t leave any out, they’re just too cute. enjoy your wednesday, loves!

post-nap rituals- makeshift water parks in the backyard of the beach house

i think i enjoyed the blow-up pool more than madeline did. ha!

after years of BEGGING andy to take me (he’s not a fan of public pools), we finally spent an afternoon at a real water park. so fun! (until i realized that pregnant women can’t go on any slides- lame.)

madeline is currently obsessed with:

organic lollipops.

waching videos of herself and giggling uncontrollably.

‘machines’ with buttons.

day trip into lewes, de.
