To the Lighthouse

Last night our family shared some wonderful moments at Museum Beach. Museum Beach is the one that overlooks the harbor and Scituate Lighthouse. This part of Scituate holds so many memories for us.
My parents owned a house on Lighthouse Road, my dad’s Danny Buoy sign still hangs on the side of the house, and I always get such warm memories when I walk passed. Seven years ago, Luke and I took many a stroll searching for sea glass on this beach while we were also searching for jobs. We kayaked in the harbor and enjoyed many great moments on my parents’ back deck. This beach was the first one John visited, it also happened to be the day we found our home. To this day, I love to go to Museum Beach to watch the boats and to search for sea glass with my boys.

| John (16 mos), his first time at the beach. That is why we selected this location for our family photos. It just holds so many special memories for us. Katina Bentley met us there to take our pictures. Katina is a wonderful photographer and such a great person. Our last photo session was when Conor was only a week old:

That was then. Look how little Conor was and look at his dark hair! So much has changed in two years and we’ve been blessed with so much happiness. I can’t wait to see Katina’s photos from last night. After she left, I snapped some candids of my own. The boys had loads of fun on the beach.
Conor sloshed and splashed in the water (fully clothed):
They found snails in the tidal pools:
They ran around and hid amongst the rocks. Then contemplated the setting sun.
Over the years, I really feel like Scituate Lighthouse has been a beacon for us. Shining its light and rays of hope while we found our way; guiding us here to Scituate. I really am so lucky to have my ‘silver pennies’ and a home by the sea!
