My great friend, Mandy, and I relax by the beach. Well, if you can call holding a 1 year old who puts sand in his mouth and running after the other 4 relaxing.....
Elise seems to feel no pain....she's not cold, she's not hot, she's content to be in the water or on the sand. I've never had a child like this. She LOVES the beach!
Ella and Elise were the best of friends for the weekend.
Dillingers took us out for a seafood delight at the "Crab n", a local, very run down, but fabulous food place here in town.
A fantastic family!

A morning for Grandad

Elise loves her Rapunzel dress from her Mimi and Papa Frank!
A wonderful morning. We decided to drop Great Grandad's ashes into the ocean one morning, hoping that he could swim with the dolphins. We couldn't find the dolphins, but went ahead and spread his ashes out. Immediately, Alex noticed movement less than 50 feet away. It was a dolphin!
It was remarkable how close we were able to get to the dolphins. Breathtaking, really. Such a blessing from God.

The sunrise was gorgeous and I loved breathing the warm air with my boys on our walk by the ocean.
