Florida Trip

I love Olivia's door.. she's very creative and artistic and I can't wait to see what she does with this talent. Keep out of her room, boys!! She means it :-)

Ethan and Max takes karate. When I was there, Ethan had to learn a series of moves (can't even remember what it's called. Shane worked with Ethan that week until Ethan was able to pass and get his stripe. After I left, he went on to pass his test and earned his yellow belt! Hiya!!! I thought he was very smart to remember all the moves - he's only 6 years old!

At the end of the trip, I was so happy to see Mahal waiting for me :-) thanks Darling.. I've missed you

I wanted to post my pictures from my Florida trip. I had a wonderful time with the family there. They pampered me and took such good care of me. It was such a treat for me to be with them and the kids and see how much they've grown. I am so blessed to be able to have the opportunity to be with family and learn from them and just enjoy these times together. Before cancer, it seemed like I was so busy with work and other things that going on trips like these were not always possible. I hope that I have learned to prioritize the things in my life a little bit better now. Hope was abundant as I looked at the kids faces and savored their energy... I hope that I would be blessed and be around to see what they are going to do in college, where they would travel to, who they would date, etc. God continues to show His grace and His faithfulness, sometimes in ways that surprise me.
