FINALLY!!!

Okay Wow this is a long time comin :)...And boy are you getting a "boatload" of pics...Sorry, so many cute ones!!! Everything was truely wonderful and relaxing (as relaxing can get with 10 kids)...God is glorified in all that He has created, but there is something about the ocean that makes me feel really small and helps me to see a really big God! I am so amazed at how such an overwhelming amount of water is simply told to "stop" and it can go no further! Matt. 8:27b "...Who can this be that even the winds and the seas obey HIM?"
We came home to a week of craziness!!! Almost everyday was scheduled with something (which I guess is my fault :) )...Nonetheless it has came and gone and I am thankful for a bit of "calm"...Ha ha not in the sense of my home being quiet and unbusy, but in the sense that now I can really focus on my family...

Sooooo...I'm "squeezing" in a minute to get these pics I promised :) of our vacation in Lincoln City OR.

So as most of you who have been to the Oregon beaches, days of sunshine on the beach with little wind is very rare...However we were exceptionally blessed to have 2 whole days of kids in swimsuits and sweat!! Seriously, we were sooo thankful for that!! We did have more days of sun, however, the wind was crazy and just to much to be able to enjoy the beach...Our beach house was simple and just what we needed to fit our needs, we had a beautiful ocean view :)





























So neat to spend time with our dear friends and enjoy the one beautiful thing we have in common-CHRIST OUR SAVIOUR!! Love you guys!!!
