Fun at the beach!

The kids and I attempted to go to the beach without Darrin for the 1st time yesterday!
The attempt was successful!
We had a great time playing in the sand even though Benny had a fever and super runny nose.
Kaylee started getting a sore throat at the beach but despite sickness both kids were troopers and had so much fun. I'm so glad we went!
Benny knocked out after we got home.
Here he is today all ready to go again! We love the beach!

I really am so thankful for my kids. They are so special to me and I love being their mommy. I don't usually write about what a blessing they are but I just felt like I needed to take a moment out of the business of caring for them and just really appreciate each and every moment I have with them.

Words can't describe the love I have for both of my kids and even my baby in heaven. For some reason I don't think I'm "over" the loss of our little baby Abigail and nor do I think I will ever be but how wonderful to think that she knows nothing else but heaven! Her loss is what makes me so grateful for the two children the Lord is letting me hold and care for here on earth and I really want to be a faithful and godly mommy to them. Okay enough emotional babbling.

Give your kids an extra tight hug today!
