The Night Watches

Oh how I love my precious little boys. I love to see them becoming buddies. It amazes me, that no matter how much Tyler beats up on Jack, he still following him everywhere, and tries to do everything like his bother. They just melt my heart. And, maybe I am biased, but they sure are adorable. I can't wait to see them with their baby brother. God has been so kind to me to give me such sweet tender boys.

There is a lot going on these days. So much is happening, I have just not had time to even catch up on edits pictures, let alone get things done around the house! Jordan officially stopped working for ARI on August 5, and we have been enjoying family time together for the past 2 weeks. One of the fun things we decided to do, was to take the kids to the beach for a mini-vacation. It was so much fun! Besides not sleeping well, the kids had a blast. They both loved the beach and the ocean. I forgot my camera the first day on the beach, so these are from our evening in Bethany Beach and the next day on the beach. Here are my pictures of our time! So this is Jack's new thing he does.... I just had to include it in the pictures.... he found that he can stick most of his finger up his nose. Nice Huh? Yummy fish & chips... Can't wait for family vacation in 26 days!!!!

What a treasure and gift my sister is to me! I do not get to see her very often, as she lives in North Carolina, but we talk a lot on the phone (and in general too!). In the past few years, I have grown to truly appreciate the gift that she is to me. Knowing that she is the friend I will have for the rest of my life, the friend that God gave to me that was perfect to help me in life, to encourage me, help me laugh at myself and just be a shoulder to lean on. Oh, I miss her so, when she is two states down... I love to see her when she visits... love to talk on the phone with her... love to hug her her and laugh at all the crazy things our kids are up to. I thank God for the gift of my sweet sister. I am so grateful to be pregnant with her again, and to just be able to live life together, even though it is from a bit of a distance. How kind of God to give us sisters.
