Sandy Cove

Sandy Cove, a walk down memory lane for Daddy and a place filled with new and great memories for all of us. We spent Memorial Day weekend at this Christian resort in Maryland and we had such a great time. It was our first family vacation with just the 4 of us and we really felt the Lord knit us together more and made us more aware of things we need to prioritize with our family. The weekend was packed with things for us to do and then some and ironically Steve and I felt really rested when we returned home. We were also able to go to a half dozen worship and sermon sessions with the kids in childcare! 

The beautiful and peaceful surroundings

 Our rustic cabin

 The pool was the highlight for the kids, they had a very large pool, a kiddy pool and an indoor heated pool to choose from.

Picnics, ice cream, playgrounds, and special times.

Awana

He did it!  Nathan completed his first year of Awana in the Cubby class and he did such a great job. It was a stretch for him at times and I think it was a stretch for his cubby leaders too:) but I am so proud of him for sticking with it. Last night they had their closing ceremony and Nathan did a great job singing his song with the group with great gusto!

NYC

We took a family trip to NYC to see our really dear friends Julia, Michael and Little Liam. Julia is Steve's cousin, my old roommate and our matchmaker:) It was sooo good to see them and just be in their company for the whole day and finally meet their beautiful son. They took us on a very kid friendly tour of the city and the kids had a blast! At every turn there was new excitement in their faces. The subway ride was probably the biggest hit for both of them, squeals and laughter, wide eyes and huge smiles.

NYC playgrounds are the best!

Thank you Julia and Michael for spending the day with us and making big memories for our kids! We can't wait to see you all again soon:)
