a beautiful day at our favorite place

the weather was perfect. the boys were happy. Noah's first beach day. hello summer... :) my most favorite moments from our day....
 watching the boys playing happy in the sand
 witnessing Noah's first look at the ocean. happy coos and wide eyed wonder
 staying cool and comfortable under our shady canopy
 those baby blues
 nap time cuddles
 this. watching their daddy lift them up to scoop up water in their buckets. their delighted faces.

 their happiness
 peace in God's creation
 their little boy wonder and joy




 feeling so blessed to be theirs.
 a sweet mom who grabbed the camera and snapped a picture of all five of us :) (even if noah's hidden and caleb's distracted :))
 and by far my most favorite moment? taking the boys out into the water to dip their toes. Lucas didn't want to get out. His lips were blue and his body was shaking cold but he just kept yelling "more, more!!" as the waves splashed high around us.
 when the waves got big and scooped us up into them and water splashed all around and the boys squeezed tighter and laughed harder. my most favorite moment of all.
 how their arms squeezed me tight and they smiled big with the waves.
grateful for them, and for moments together at our favorite place
 
....remembering and praying for our soldiers today with gratitude for their sacrifice for our freedom.

Happy Weekend.
