We had sailed over to Maho Bay, St. John earlier in the week for Genevieve’s super fun surprise party on a local floating bar, Angel’s Rest. I still can’t believe Genevieve and Brittany got me to jump ;) Be sure to check out all the shenanigans >>here<<.

For the twins’ first birthday, March 6th, we got everyone together again on shore for a little celebration which turned out to be a picture perfect location for this very special event. With Arias and Ellia (SV Necesse) and Isla, Haven and Mira (SV Asante) the beach was overflowing with cuteness!

It’s pretty obvious from the photos, but these darling babies really are THIS happy in person! Their little personalities are bigger than life and so different from one another. Hats off to Brittany and Scott for living on a boat with three under three and making it look so easy!

I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to capture all these gorgeous photos on such a special day, though it was so hard to choose my favorite photos. There are dozens more, but these are the ones I couldn’t wait to share…

It’s always fun to meet other young cruisers like ourselves, but this family is so much more than just your average cruising family.

First off, Genevieve takes GORGEOUS photos! Hop over to their blog and you’ll see what I mean.

Then there’s the girls. Their darling girls have been raised on the boat, as they are now in their fifth year aboard, and are some of the smartest kids I’ve ever met. For anyone that may be skeptical of raising kids on a boat, just read about all the amazing things this family has done.

They recently lived in the Dominican Republic working with a non-profit called Live Different building homes for those in need. They also have a very exciting adventure coming up where they will be traveling to India! Be sure to check out their STORY to see how far they’ve come and see just how awesome this family really is.

Eben and Genevieve have worked very hard to turn their boat into the perfect tiny floating home. They are an inspiration to Peter and me and we’re so grateful we got the chance to finally meet them in person. Hopefully we’ll be able to buddy-boat with them down island to Grenada when they return from their India trip!
