you are my sunshine

a few realizations from vacation:

1) i don't want to be a stay at home mom. not now. maybe not ever.

2) i have the best in-laws in the whole world. they are fun, generous, and obsessed with my children. couldn't ask for anything more.

 (someone's been eating some cheeseballs.)

my in-laws were kind enough to take C on the plane with them. he hates the car. it's something i can't explain, but he does. and him in the car for 17 hours? well that just wasn't gonna happen. and J, well, he handled that car ride like a champ! no complaining. not once. which is why he's the perfect child.

the week was a perfect mix of sun, afternoon naps, books, and family. (i read the hunger games on vacation and can we just talk about it for a minute??? AH-MAZING. couldn't put it down. finished the second book then started the third book the other day.) 

J, my child who has hated baths since the day he was born, well that child swam like a fish! even let us dunk that little fuzzed head underwater. i was so proud!

 

 and C. i had that boy all wrong. after two days of trying to get him to play in the sand, found out kid loves the ocean, just like his daddy. sit that kid at the edge of the water and he will happily play and play and play.

we are so thankful to be able to get away and spend some precious time together.

 (j and his cousin, carson.)

and the day after we got home? we began to pack. this time to move. we bought a house. but more on that later. all three boys are sleeping and i have a book i need to read...
