THE BEACH


We had the wonderful opportunity of staying for a week at the coast.
What a beautiful week it was.
We had adventures of exploring the rocks along the beach for sea creatures.

We visited the nearby aquarium. That was fascinating! An unexplainable world that we rarely get to see was placed right in front of our eyes. God's incredible. I love the beauty of His handiwork.

Jeremy loved the beach from a distance...and with his tennies on. It took a couple days for him to walk on the sand with sandles and to not cry out in fear at the seaweed. By the end of the week he was actually liking the rocks and the creatures we found...although he still freaked when the water would gently push itself onto the sand and touch his toes! It was fun seeing him experience all these things for the first time.

We spent the week with Andrew's brother and sis and their families. That was a blast! There were some fierce Risk battles, many hours on the playstation race course, lots of laughs and just good 'ol hanging out. The kids got to ride their bikes on the road that followed along the shore line. Jeremy had great practice figuring out how to stay to the side of the road!

Angela and I were able to steal away for an hour or so and get some pastries. We carried them out to the rocks where the waves were crashing itself in it's mighty strength and nibbled on our goodies. I love being with her. She's so sweet and silly all in one. We have some good laughs together.

One morning I took the kids to a nearby park. It was a wonderful and fun park! It had tunnels, play grounds, bridges, mazes, lookouts, and so many places to run around!
Joshua and Angela were kind and took Jeremy down the bumpy slide over and over.

Joshua started a trend. He went down on his feet...eventually standing up as if he was skate boarding. Soon all the big kids were doing the same thing. He got a kick out of that!

We've been through a lot this past month and a half with transitions and changes. The kids have all been learning to work together and communicate. Jeremy is responding well to instruction and is expanding in his vocabulary. Andrew and I have been spending time reevaluating how to love our children and direct them in knowing God.
