A Farewell

On the last day of 2013, I am reflecting on many things... What a big year it has been for me and my family, how lucky we are to have such a fun, exciting life, and how incredibly busy we are all the time. A little too busy for this blog, as a matter of fact. As much as I have loved keeping this blog over the last 4 1/2 years, I finally have to admit defeat. For a while, I tried posting twice a week and then just once a week and then, well, you know the rest. As a friend said last weekend, "You guys have been at the beach for a while." So, I am saying farewell to the blog... It has been a great way to keep in touch with all of our friends and family, but with three kids, a job and a household to keep up, I just can't do it any more. Follow me (annabelleapley) and Ben (benapley) on Instagram and I promise you will feel like you are in the loop on our lives.

In the meantime, here are some of my favorite family photos from our time in Michigan this summer...

Clara is such a silly girl.


Peter loved finding treasures on the beach.
