Arianna turns 6 and we venture to Ocean Lakes




We had a great invite to go to OceanLakes in Myrtle Beach, SC. It was a very nice house and the children had so much fun. There are so many things to do at the campground and hanging on the beach. My niece had a run in with a small jellyfish, bless her she was very tough. Then Hunter had a TV fall on his head and arm and scared Tim and I to death. But other than that it was a great few days. We even had Arianna's 6th Birthday there, which she LOVED. We ran into some wonderful friends from church and they where able to join us for her birthday and she couldn't quit talking about them coming and how happy she was they did. The pool was fun for a little while, but way crowded. I have never seen so many people in one place at one time. Hunter and Arianna played putt putt for the first time on her Birthday and Hunter wanted to play again and again. He wanted Grandpa to play with him, but maybe next time. He may have to wait until he can play big golf with Grandpa. I was a bit stressed at all the schedule and what to do when. But I finally relaxed and tried to just enjoy being there. The baby is 22 weeks along and she is moving a lot. Moves the most at night at 11 pm almost every night. Only a few more months and she will be here and I feel like my to do list is longer and time is to short. We are know back and already started some of Arianna's school work today. i am really looking forward to her attending Classical Conversations at AMRBC. I think it will be a blessing beyond belief. I have loaded the Beach pictures, and in the middle of trying to take the good ones my camera battery died and it got to dark, so maybe next time I will get that perfect beach picture like I wanted. I did however take several pictures of other families I didn't know and theirs where beautiful. I was actually ready to come home and get back to life, which is strange. More often than not I try to run from life....hahaha... I am really happy about what the future holds for our family and all that we are going to learn and experience in the next weeks, months and years ahead. God has a great plan for us and I am anxious to learn what it is, but also wanting it to happen slowly. Our pastor DJ is right about taking a vacation. You tend to come back with a clearer head and friendly manner than when you left. I am reading a new book I want to start posting more about, and still reading Power of a praying Parent. I will let you know how they both are going. Oh yes and the Have a New Kid by Friday really great. I listened to it, but some awesome info we are putting into play this week. I look forward to the awesome outcome, I hope!!! haha Blessings
