out of the mouths of our little ones: Vacation day #3 blowing bubbles on balcony and evening on the sand

A journal for my children of my life with them

This blog tells the story of my children while they are young.
I am constantly told, like by the stranger when my little one had an accident today in the library, that these moments go by so fast
(although I wished I could have skipped that one).
I can feel them slipping through my hands, all these little beautiful moments.
Moments when I get to be a child again because of their wonder.
Moments when their need for me challenges me (sometimes at the library) to be a better and bigger person.
Moments when I am faced with their pain and must rely on God for their needs.
Moments when I hurt because they are just so beautiful to look at, and even more often so beautiful on the inside.

I don't know if they will want to read these chronicles when they grow up, but I hope so. I hope this journal helps them to remember a childhood they loved, and family who love them

Vacation day #3 blowing bubbles on balcony and evening on the sand

Up on the balcony on our second morning here, blowing bubbles with Nana and Dorathea.

We are on the 16th floor which provides privacy and doesn't sacrifice the view. The kids say wow every time we open the balcony door.

And then late in the day, after an early dinner at home we hit the beach. At this point Jonathan cries if we go outside and he doesn't get to play in the sugary sand.
