Beach Bums

Jack's First Touch of the Ocean

Well today we might be getting a thunderstorm on the beach. This makes me a little excited b/c I love watching thunderstorms, and on the beach..well that's just a huge plus! Jack is loving the beach..he doesn't get out there alot b/c of his nap schedule..but by next year he will be out in that ocean!! I had already planned on taking swimming lessons this fall and winter with him just to keep him familiar with the water..I don't think he will have any problem! It's such a blessing to get to spend this quality time with the family..I also feel like when I'm out there by the ocean God reveals so much about my life to me. I can't wait to tell you a story about last year and feeling God leading me to a new direction in life..and now in a month I will be actually be fulfilling that calling in life ;)..Man..only a few more weeks until I can reveal the big secret!! Michael and I are also praying about another opportunity that we feel like God is revealing to us. It's so amazing to me that I have a Christian husband who stands beside me and loves me so much. Jack has been waking up at 5:30am each morning down here..seems like he doesn't know what vacation is haha..Right now I'm waiting on my husband and we are going to the book store. I figured atleast if the sun isn't out..it's a good reading day on the beach. My friend Kelly mentioned a book on her blog a few weeks ago that I'm going to go purchase. It's by Dr.Laura Schlessinger.."In Praise of Stay at Home Moms". I figured it was worth a read. Enjoy the pictures Jack is a water boy for sure! Oh, a funny story..I was going out to the ocean yesterday and I saw this Mom walking with 2 boys whom I could tell were definitely from Ethiopia (haha)..I noticed the boys looked alike..probably twins..as the boys got closer I realized it was Kobe&Kiya Ledford from church!! We talked with them for a long time..it's so great to talk adoption,church, and God's love with fellow church members 10 hours from home!! And of course the boys were excited to see Mr.Mike ;)
