Topsail Beach

Here are just a few snapshots of our time just hanging out with family at the beach. Ethan and Luke after a long day in the sun in the living room.
Gracie and Cooper "incognito"!

Micah and Mia - he really enjoyed his time with her.

Alana and Jake in front of the Dolphin Inn - the official name of the beach house.

All the cousins before the departure for our long drive home. You can't see the ocean behind them or the dolphins that came out for Aunt Terri's cheer!

A fun time was had by all, many memories were created and minimal sunburning!!

Busy, Busy, Busy

Well, we have so much going on right now!

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my cousin Anna for a visit from Oregon, and of course, her beautiful girls too!

We are minus a living room while it is under construction. Something we have talked about doing for way too long and now it is actually being done - Yeah! While finding a place for all our stuff from the living room, I started to think that we have way too much! Most of it is kids clothes, toys, etc. that are nice to have around, you'll never know when we'll need them! Maybe it is time for a garage sale!

I am supposed to be planting (or have planted) my garden, but that is still in process. The rain today is good, but does not help much get completed. We did receive some free peppers and tomato plants from a guy Dan works with - blessings that come from procrastination?!

Oh yeah, I need to start packing for a trip to NC to visit my sister and her family and enjoy a week on the beach! I think if I survive this week I'll need the vacation!

We've all been a little under the weather lately. I guess I feel the need to see the beauty around me when I am feeling bleck. These picture do not compare with the real thing. They are just a snapshot of God's handiwork.



These are the apple blossoms. The fragrance is wonderful. What you can't see are the bees that were swarming the tree! Since the two apple trees haven't yet produced edible fruit, this is when I most enjoy them.



We have two cherry trees that do produce an abundance of cherries for us. I look forward to cherry juice dripping down to my elbows as I take the pits out of them for a cherry pie!

Coincidence?

I have recenlty finished reading Tracy Kidder's Mountains Beyond Mountains about Dr. Paul Farmer. I was referred to this book by a friend who always challenges me to think differently than I am in the habit of thinking. I would recommend it for so many reasons, but I am not going to list them all. I was at work last night and got to watch my bi-monthly episode of 60 minutes. I was thrilled to see that they were airing a segment on Paul Farmer and the work he does all over the world. Take a look and if it interest you, read the book!

Ok, so the plan was to have the 60 minutes video, but that is not working, so here is a link to another blog that you can watch it on.

My "Superman"



I am blessed to have a 4yr.old in my life. Micah is filled with joy. Joy for life. Pure joy. He wakes up happy. He makes me smile so many times when I need it most. Thank you God for showing me joy through my 4yr. old.
