Perfect Beach Trip


















Our family was so blessed to spend quality time together this week at the beach.  This was the first time we've been away just the five of us.  We definitely missed MaMa, Paas, Papa & GG, but there was something special about being together.  We enjoyed lots of beautiful weather and reminded each other that God made all of His creation for His glory and our pleasure.  We certainly took pleasure in all He has given us this week.  There are so many times that I want to freeze this stage and enjoy their ages a little longer, but it is also such a privilege to see our boys growing and developing their personalities.  Eli enjoyed walks on the beach collecting shells.  He is fiercely independent, but still relishes in direct attention from either of us.  Knox was perfectly content to hunt for crabs.  He's mastered this too, as he caught several on his own.  Briggs is becoming quite the character.  Wow.  He is trying so hard to talk to us and insists on participating in whatever it is the big brothers are doing.  He loved the ocean and wore his knees out crawling on the sand.  He is easily the most easy going baby I've ever known.  He rolled with the punches our entire trip and didn't give us a fuss about anything except a football he spotted in Old Navy.  He got the football.  All in all it was an incredible time and we enjoyed every minute!
