Summer Vacation

As some of you may know, the kids and i travelled far away to the land of milk and honey...okay, not really, but it is a different kind of 'promised land', rich in God's natural expression of his beauty!BC was warm and sunny. lovely. homey. delightful.We stayed with my parents, and played with my sister and her kids everyday.
Julia learned to trust her body for more physical activity. (since she is more of a sit and color, or make-believe kind of girl) This is a great thing, because she tends to be nervous about doing things that she doesn't know she can do...her confidence in her physical ability is not very strong....her confidence in her cognitive ability...now that's another story! haha
my sweet folks had a lovely time cuddling with Sam. (and Julia too...if they could catch her)
The girls were in each others' company constantly, and wow. it was delightful. besides the normal "i like horses more than you do." "no I like horses more that YOU do!" kind of bickering, they played soooooooooooo well together, and i feel like i didn't see Julia for a week, because she was always off playing. (maybe having twins would n't be so bad after all??? haha)

more to come............
