Our precious times away, even for the day, have always been with dear friends and family...exactly how we LOVE it...so it's been a little strange for all of us to just be us (Even when "just us" is already six people!) We're growing into it...
The girls love...beach snacks, going from the beach to the pool and back again, not doing ANY schoolwork, and daddy not going to work.
Ben loves...daddy not going to work, and following him everywhere he goes.
Daddy loves...Ben/Dad nap time, the Old Testament books he brought, the air-conditioner in the condo, and the beach umbrellas Hayden let us borrow!
Mommy loves...everyone being together, not doing any school work, daddy not going to work, THE BEACH, and the two fantastic books I'm reading, one on lament (heartbreak + prayer...reminding our hearts of what we know to be true vs. heartbreak + silence and withdraw and despair) and one on trying softer instead of harder...a TOTALLY foreign concept to me that is really stretching me right now.
Thankful for these few days of "softer" time.
