Just kidding. I'm not going to write about Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, or Billy Mays. And I don't even really have words for David Carradine - why I stay away from celebrities in general. But I figured throwing his name out there might make you want to read. Doubtful.
ARGH LIFE! I can't believe it is July. Where did June go? So many plans I made - to relax, to enjoy the summer with my kids, and now - its half way over! Thankfully yesterday my kids and I sojourned to the nearest "big lake" (30 miles of shoreline!) with my dear friend Justin and her two sons. It was HEAVENLY! Justin and I sat in the sun (my legs are actually 2 shades south of white now!) while the kids swam, build sandcastles, and squealed. My kids are happiest when they are at the lake - there is NOTHING I can take them to do that compares with the unbridled joy of the lake. They are able to play as loud and dirty as they want and there is virtually no way that they can get hurt. (Yes I recognize that drownings do happen but I am within 15 feet of them at all times AND this lake is only up to my calves for at least 30 feet out.) I love watching them build, explore, and play together. And the BEST part is the 1 hour drive! Suckers and some awesome music kept them happy on the way there - and pure exhaustion kept them quiet on the way back! It was incredible.
Justin - thanks for the invite! Lets do it again next week!
I STILL don't have the time/energy to rewrite my novel of a blog post about our trip. But, in lieu of words, here are some pictures from our awesome trip!
I just finished writing a 1500 word blog post about my fabulous trip to Las Vegas. And then it disappeared. For whatever reason my browser window just closed. Gone.
And I don't have the energy to re-write it just now. But I will, complete with pictures, because it was just that fabulous.
There are many things I do not know about my children. But this I do know: they were created in the image of a perfect God. And I know they'll make many mistakes and fail my expectations and break my heart - but I will ALWAYS keep their true identity in the forefront of my mind. These little ones are PERFECT in His eyes.
