...back from vacation...

We finally got a chance to enjoy some time away as a family this past week.

And part of me is still there.

And part of me was already there before we went.

It wasn't long enough.

But it doesn't matter how I feel, we're back.  But along with the crazy change of seasons came another cold for me this year (more than I can ever remember having!)...so that is all my excuse of not blogging.  My brain has been at the beach and now still feels "swimmy."

We didn't have the best of weather at the beach, but it was such a great time to get away and I went crazy trying to photograph our trip well.  And that was so much fun!  We stumbled across Fort Macon, which was an amazing place to take pictures! I LOVE taking pictures of Elijah, so I'll use any excuse to do so. And my husband surprisingly let me get some of him and he got in on the fun, taking pictures of me! Here's a taste of our trip through photos.

Thanks for being forgiving blog readers!












I know it's a gazillion pictures...but I just can't choose!

beach trip!

Over spring break here, we were blessed to go with our youth group to Fort Caswell.  This was Elijah's first trip to the beach and we had a wonderful time.  The youth and chaperones worked hard during the day as they beautified Fort Caswell. Meanwhile, Jenifer (our youth minister's wife), her daughter, Abby, and Elijah and I explored and enjoyed the area.  Abby and Elijah are on completely opposite schedules, so they didn't get to hang out a lot, but one day Elijah skipped his first nap so we could hang out at the Fort Fisher Aquarium.  Here's a photo recap of our trip:
