Yes I know, could I possibly take anymore pictures of these munchkins?! Like I said a few days ago, most people probably won't want to look at all these pictures, but lucky for us, these pictures represent so many sweet and happy memories of our week. Each morning I wake up so incredibly thankful for this relaxing, precious week that the Lord has given us. A week to spend with family; a week to step back and remember how blessed we are; a week to take a break from our busy lives and to praise God for the little happy moments like watching your 3 year old jump into the swimming pool over and over and over again, or hearing your daughter say "James don't you want to play trains with me again?!" for the 10th time that day, or chasing your 18 month old all around the beach and pool because he is too active to stay in one place at a time. Probably 5 times a day minimum Grafton looks at me and says "Mommy, I LOVE the beach! Thank you for bringing me here!" and each time it melts my heart. Tonight we were getting on the elevator after dinner and she looked at James and said "James, can I please hold your hand?" which of course THRILLED James and possibly brought a tear to my eye. I love times like these when I have a few extra minutes in the day to sit back, rest, and be still...for it is these moments when my eyes are opened again to God's presence in every second our life...what a calming and peaceful feeling that brings me.
