Life

John Shea and the East China Sea

the pointed toes!
baby speedo from our Sadie & Tuck! 
We love his elephant towel, Auntie Jeannette and Uncle Joey!
Well, our sweet, adorable John Shea, you may have taken this all in sans smiles, but we could tell you loved your first “swim” with your Daddy during the 80 degrees weather we had this weekend. Two months old, and you can say you’ve been to New Zealand, Okinawa’s islands, headed to Hokkaido in December, lived in Japan and swam in the East China Sea… we’re so proud of you our mini traveler! It’s an important part of life that we’re excited to keep teaching you about.
I wonder what ocean you’ll be swimming in next??

    travel is such a wonderful gift to give your children–john shea will love hearing of all the adventures he was on! when we were living in Abu Dhabi, i found out i was pregnant with my now one year old daughter after returning from a trip to Jordan. we joke that she was a well traveled little girl, even in uteroโ€ฆswimming in the Dead Sea, hiking the dunes of Wadi Rum, exploring Petra, and traveling all over the UAE ๐Ÿ˜‰ we move to London next summer, and can't wait to expose her to all that part of the world has to offer! xo
