Favorites

We are back and settling in. I am starting to go through pictures and have pulled a few favorites that I am considering for our mantel.

Looking at these pictures reminds me of what a wonderful time we had. The girls were really good and fully enjoyed themselves. In the end, that is really all I wanted -my girls to have fun while surrounded with love. When I sit on the beach looking at the three of them play I can't help but be overcome with all the blessings we have been given. I never imagined us vacationing like a "regular" family two years ago. Regular we are - well sometimes and this vacation was one of those times.

Alex and I had to laugh when we arrived at the beach with NO OXYGEN. We made lists which included cannulas, lines, Tegaderm, nebs and meds but I guess we didn't include O2 tanks. It was more amusing than scary because we were pretty confident we wouldn't run into any trouble. In fact, we escaped conjunctivitis and a stomach bug that were running through the other families in the house. Not bad for a little girl that touched her toes on the sand for the first time at 10lbs, on the O's and nearly one year of age.



Some pictures from this year. . .
