This year, we did something we have not normally done as a family- we went to the beach! We wanted to celebrate Michael's graduation and the faithfulness of God these last 8 years in PhD work. We decided to do something crazy and fun for us just as a family- go to the beach. We decided to go in May- when its cheaper and found a two bedroom condo on the beach. Literally, all we did all week was play on the beach. The kids dug and dug on the beach and built pits and pools of water and caught hermit crabs and waded in the water- it was a lot of fun. Joel, on the other hand, hated the sand. He cried on the beach and got sand on his fingers then ate sand- he was a mess. Michael every afternoon took Joel up for a nap and I and the three kids lounged at the beach and the pool! It was glorious! The kids played so well and I was able to read a book- actually two books and start a third! I read Stepping Heavenward for the second time which encouraged my soul by Elizabeth Prentiss- author of the hymn- "More Love to Thee." And I read Teaching from Rest- by Sarah MacKenzie!
