  • Life was wonderful this weekend.


    Lots of sun.   Went to my favorite beach.  Rainee was a good traveller.   And enjoyed nice fellowship at church.  I like it when things fall together and give you a bit of a life break. 


    Pictures?  Oh but of course.


    Driftwood at Rialto.   Soooooooooooooooo purdy.


                 


    The kids had a lot of fun climbing all over stuff.   And their was even a old hide-out that somebody else had built that they played in.  *grin*   And it was warm.   We rarely get out their and have the sun follow us.  *giggles*   So we could sit and play rather then say yup its pretty, now show me the hot chocolate!


    I had some camera problems.  So a couple of my pictures didn't turn out quite like they were 'sposed to.   So not as many as I was hoping.   But nonetheless ya get the idea. 


       This one just makes me giggle.    Personality oozin' out of that boy.  ROFL


    This particular piece of driftwood was a lovely balance beam.   Kaylin walked it all...but then needed help gettin' down.  *giggles*    She was the most energetic and cheerful she's been in quite awhile.


     


               


    Of course as a result her and daddy went wave chasin'.   And a wave was faster and taller then her.  And knocked her over forcing her to do three flips before daddy rescued her.   She was not impressed.  And informed us.  "I don't like this beach, and I never want to come again."   We laughed at her.   And she of coursed changed her mind rather quickly.  *snicker*   As a result however we left shortly thereafter 'cause she was frickin' cold.  The Pacific in Washington is all of 42 degrees ya know. 


    We got her in a nice warm change of clothes and had a beautiful drive home along Lake Crescent.  NO pictures...but trust me it was gorgeous. 


    Oh and here's our wave runners just before they became umm wave splashin'. 


                          


    We stopped and ate lunch at Granny's a funky little restaurant that had mini-goats, horses, chickens, and a dog we got to "visit" afterwards.   The kids loved this.   Rainee kept running back and forth amongst the goats sayin' "doggie! doggie! doggie!"   Well they were about the same size, and hairy.  LOL


    After that we headed home I had a nice nap.   And we just played in the lawn.   Weather was just lovely.  I had left dinner sitting out on the counter for Rob to put in...but he forgetted.   Cause he took the kids hikin'.   So *dang*  he had to take us to Lynn's CAboose (a drive-up) place about ten minutes from our house (the closest food LOL)   So we did that and went home.  Kids slept good.  *grin*


    Today was church, and I ended up playing for communion.   And we stayed for potluck, something we haven't been doing.  It was a nice relaxing time.   And I'm glad we did.   Even if the food of choice today was hot dogs.  ROFL.   Their were a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of hot dogs their today.  Though they had all the fixin's, onions, chili etc.   So it made it more palatable.  *grin*


    And tonight we *gasp* made it to evening service.   Evening service is our contemporary worship.  And I love it.   But it was one of the things that went with Rainee and my exhaustion.     I have missed it terribly and asked Rob if we could try to start going again.  (It had been my choice to miss)   So we made it.  And oh I hadn't realized how much I had missed it.   Theirs less people in the evening, the crowd is more intimate, and the fellowship sweet.   I can't miss it anymore.


    So then I realized.  I gave up Awana, and Bible Study.   And these were good choices.   If we replace these with potluck (which is once a month)   And evening service, which my kids LOVE we've made a good swap.   Evening service draws us together as a family.   And encourages family.   Awana for all its good things...does not.     I think that God has led us into a good place.   


    Of course life will be hard again tomorrow ROFL.   But ya know what the last two days were peace...and those are something to treasure.


    On a side-note.   Rainee's apnea has been BAD since we got back from California.  And I think I've put some pieces together.   The three months before California we had finally gotten her after almost two years into a consistent nap.    Well that was blown away in Cali, and I haven't regained it back.    I'm thinking she is overtired and so forgets even more then usual to breathe.   Her oxy is back up to 1 to 1.5 liters.   So nap has just become a priority again.  


    May it work.


    God is good.


    All the time.


    All the time.


    God is good.
