Mother's Day

Today was a very special Mother's Day! Jason and the girls gave me sweet notes and a new tote bag and a trip to get a pedicure. We had a quiet afternoon after Hillsboro, but it was a great day! Happy to be back from the beach with my tired lil baby bunnies. Love all these snuggles and feeling a sense of accomplishment for having made it through another service with two-year-old twin girls! Happy Mother's Day, Mom, Mimi, Grandma Golda, Grandma Baker, Grandmother Beard, and Denise! We love you all! 

So thankful to have these little voices that call me, "Mommy!"

Our First Family Vacation

A very sweet, generous family from Bellevue gave us the vacation of our dreams! They own several beach homes and they mentioned we should use one of them for a week with the girls and at first we thought they were kidding, until they mentioned it again and then we started packing! Another family years ago had done that for them when their children were little, and they wanted to "pay it forward" to us. I hope we can do that for another family one day. It really felt like time stood still for a whole week with just our family and the beach. We literally only played in the sand, water, and ate shrimp all week! It will be a trip I'll remember for years to come and I'm so very thankful God uses other Christians to minister to all of us in our time of need-even when we don't know we need help or a get-a-way. Very thankful we get to come home to such a beautiful city, because we didn't want to leave the  sugary-sandy, magnificent beach. Mary Char still asks to go back just about every day! 

Thank you to the Horn Family! This is the link to their website if you want beautiful, convenient, and very clean accommodations right on the water! http://www.eveningtidevacationrentals.com/ 

We love you!
