Let's Bowl

Our little boy is turning 6 and to celebrate, we threw him a bowling party.  He chose several of his friends to join his league and here are some photos showing how much fun they all had...

Serenity by the Sea

We recently enjoyed a relaxing time with some dear friends.  A hearty thanks to the Harrises for their generous hospitality in allowing us to join them for a memorable Mother's Day weekend!  With the mighty ocean before us and the wide blue sky above us, it was so easy to contemplate the Lord's majesty as we reveled in His wonderful creation....


A seaside retreat

A view to wake up to!
That's my cup of coffee and glass of water sitting on the window ledge.

Spotted this grazing deer on our first morning.

The gorgeous Sonoma Coast.

In the garden.

Hiking to the beach.


My soul is full of longing
For the secret of the sea,
And the heart of the great ocean
Sends a thrilling pulse through me.

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow








My Abercrombie models. Lol!

Our gracious hosts.
Little Mason was not too pleased to be interrupted from his seaside escapades!


The weary traveler...

And the winner is...

Last night, Andre participated in his first ever Infinity 500 race at GTC. And, surprise-surprise, he won first place in the competition!  One might argue that with a nickname like Zoom and a speed racer for a father, it  should not have come as much of a surprise, but no one was more taken aback than we were. Of course, the little guy was sooo pleased to win!

"the competition" - He was neck and neck with the fluffy, rainbow car!
It was the highlight of the evening as it was the first double tie, until it was decided that he was the victor.

that would be his father!
