For those of you who do not already know, every summer David's family has a reunion on Mobile Bay in Alabama. I have heard his mother refer to it as "Baycation", which always makes me smile. While most reunions (including my family's...) consist of an awkward afternoon of bad potato salad and mindless small talk with random relatives, David's family chooses to spend a whole week together swimming, sailing, fishing, eating amazing seafood, and genuinely enjoying each other's company.
In any case, perhaps the greatest event of the entire week is the unveiling of the "bay shirts". That's right - in true family reunion fashion, everyone gets a matching t-shirt. Vibrantly-colored and adorably-designed, the shirts are truly the highlight of the week for me. Over the years, I have accumulated quite a collection of these fabulous shirts - a collection which is coveted by my closest friends and treasured by yours truly. They even sent a shirt to Brazil for me. So you can imagine my excitement when this year, Mary ordered tiny baby t-shirts for Naomi and Eliza. As you can see, the girls loved them. They must take after their mother...
