out of the mouths of our little ones: Vacation day #4 it was a blue and white striped kind of day

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 #4 it was a blue and white striped kind of day

God's been whispering to me in my quiet time that I match the ocean in it's beauty. I had a laugh today as my kids matched the beach umbrellas like the Von Trap children matched thier curtians. I did not know that the lounge chairs at our section of the beach would perfectly match the clothes I packed. But i did monopolize this fact and give my creator a wink.

Nana and I took hit the beach with the kiddies while Dad and Papa worked today. The weather was warm with a cool breeze, just as we like it. Here Jonathan is offering you his juice.
