Beach

We spent last week at the beach with my family. My mom's boss has a beachfront house that she let us 'rent'...she practically gave it to us for the week. With my brother and his family living in Indiana and everyone having multiple families to visit during the holidays we don't have many opportunities to all be together very often. So this was a perfect week of hanging out and doing nothing. The weather was perfect all week and I came home rested and relaxed.

These are a few of my favorite things from the week:
•hearing the waves outside my window
•sitting on the porch, feeding baby Ellie, and watching Ensley play and laugh with the family
•going to church as a family and visiting with precious friends
•spending some time with my sister in law...we never get to visit just the two of us
•hearing Ensley talk about the beach and squeal with delight
•doing nothing but enjoying time away
•watching the sunrise from the balcony in the stillness of the morning while feeding baby Ellie reflecting on God's goodness.

After returning home Ensley saw the pool bag one morning and stated she was going to the pool. I told her the pool was not open to which she replied with a big sweet smile "I go to da beeeeeeach!" She did not like it when I told her we could not go to the beach today. She cried big tears, bless her heart.

I don't know when we will all be together again but I will always cherish the memories made last week.
