It has been crazy around here since returning from Disney. Between making and selling 50 of my cards, fixing my messed up blog, running Yaya here and there for play dates and daily activities, I've had little time for blogging. I'm thankful for all of it but boy oh boy have I missed my time here reflecting.
In addition, we found out we weren't chosen for another baby, two actually. It was hard news to hear BUT we rest in the understanding and faith that God has other plans for our family. Instead of stewing on it, I'm going to pick myself up and focus on the blessings I do have here and now.
While on vacation, we spent a morning relaxing at the beach. It was pure HEAVEN! We always talk about how much fun we had last spring on the beach with Bird's family in Oregon. This trip was no different.
We packed a picnic lunch.
Bird, Doug and Allison played a little Bacci on the beach. The seagulls proved to be "scavengers" when they fought over the white bacci ball and one even attempted to carry it off which made for an interesting round.
The girls played in the waves.
I caught this surfer coming out of the water with 11 cranes or albatross (I can't be sure which) flying in formation along the horizon of the water. LOVE THIS SHOT!
This woman's silhouette struck me as a classic beach shot. Her hat and sunglasses gave it an old fashioned look to boot.
I couldn't believe my eyes when Bird yelled at me and pointed out to the water. Racing across the horizon was a pod of dolphins. Watching their backs shimmer in the sunlight as their dorsal fins arched out of the water over and over again was breathtaking. Just my luck, I didn't have the long lense on my camera so this is the best shot I could get.
My niece, Kendall and I had fun together watching these little critters get washed up by a wave and quickly dig themselves back into the sand for safety.
These two were shameless and appeared to be infatuated with one another. They cooed and nuzzled one another. They groomed one another and snuggled close. It was very sweet and it's exactly how I plan to spend the rest of my week. Snuggled close to my family, loving on them and attending to their every need.

Gorgeous pictures!!!
Hi sweet girl! I did try to comment last night but there were issues on my end with google (I assume) - if this one goes through then it's good!
LOVE love LOVE the seashell shot! And I'm jealous about the dolphin encounter. The photographer at the surf spot in HI saw some but I missed them then too!
L8r!

I am so a camera girl, so I love your shots. Charlie laughs at me, because I am forever using the macro setting and getting up close to things. Those tend to be my favorite somehow.
Honestly? I am sitting here wondering "Why?"
I don't get God sometimes- from my end or from yours. But I know He is right and good all the time.
I will keep praying for your baby.
I love you.
