The Boy still loves his Mama, but he is slowly emerging into that Daddy is fun realization. I remember when it hit Ansley, and even though I love feeling the love, there's something so special about that relationship between a Daddy and his children. I can share the love.

This is what I do.
I take pictures. This blog is a way for me to capture the every day moments in this season of my life before it becomes too foggy in my memory for me to recall. This is a tangible reminder of what my life was like, what we did, what was important to us, how we spent our days. These are the every day matters, because to me, every day matters.

Heading back home at 7:30 am. It was an early morning, and a long trip home, but a week-ful of memories!

The Greiner family and the Hovis family, including Amelia's debut (4 months). Enjoying our last evening together on the bay.
(Our first good Knoxville friends. We love them!)

Sweet sleeping boy. I love this picture. So sweet. He was SO tired from getting up so early, playing in the sun all day and having so much to do. He would get downright grumpy, so we'd lay him on the bed, turn on a little fan to blow on his face, and he would be out in a matter of seconds.
That's a tired boy.

A family picture by the bay, after a day at the beach and hanging out.

We went down to The Village and ate dinner and walked around this evening. We did lots of fun things that the kids really enjoyed: Julia (3), Ansley (6), Jackson (6) and Christian (3).

Enjoying some sunset time in the "backyard" of the house we stayed in (which belongs to our friends). I say backyard because it was actually a golf course, but the bay was right there, and made for a pretty photo and lots of entertainment for the kids.

Totally last minute, we decided to renew our vows in a quiet beach ceremony with our friends.
Nah, I kid. They were setting up for a wedding on the beach, and we thought it'd be funny to get some pictures with it. And please excuse my rolled up pant legs. I actually don't walk around like that, but it was freakin' hot, and I had rolled them up to air out my legs. Or something. It's not like it really helped, being so hot and all, but I was trying to do something so I wouldn't keep focusing on the sun and how much I wished it set before 8 pm.

We headed out this evening, but made an overnight stop in Birmingham to break up the trip. Even though Christian looks distressed in this picture, he was loving hotel life.
This is the first time ever in my kids entire lives that they have stayed at a hotel. This either means we are incredibly non-adventurous, or we are incredibly spoiled, opting for renting homes instead of staying at hotels. I'll let you choose.
But either way, they LOVED the hotel experience, from getting ice to all sleeping in the same room.
Mom and Dad did not embrace the hotel experience quite as much as the young 'uns did.

Today was one of those days when I just needed to immerse myself in God's Word. I was irritable and resentful and harsh.
So, I did. And I came away refreshed, as usual.
