Beach Memories

Every once in a while right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairytale.

There are those moments in time when things are absolutely perfect.  Moments illustrated with laughter, grins, and wind in your hair.  This past weekend at the beach was one of those moments for our family.  We laughed as Carson made friends with the reflection in the mirror, sat in the sink for his bath with a confused look on his face, and curled his toes up from the cool ocean water.  We grinned as we watched him nap in the sand, splash in the little pools along the shore, and flirted with the waitress.

Sometimes I look back on these memories we're capturing and I have a hard time processing the fact that this is my life.  I am married to a man that I love with my whole heart.  I have a beautiful, healthy, baby boy that has captivated my entire being.  It just doesn't get much better.

And then you have these moments.  The ones where you just envelope all the grace and blessing you've been given.  The times where you sit back and drink in the goodness that is your life.
