A Day at the Beach in Dana Point???


Our picnic at the park.
"Please be my friends."  Asher shared his bike with Em and Landon and then reclaimed it quickly!
Sidewalk chalk.  Fun to play with and, if you're Asher, it's fun to eat!
Em took this picture of us on my phone.  We do both have heads, with hair, but Emily had chalky hands when she took this, so it's the best I've got!


Last week I called my friend Dawnielle and we planned a beach day for our kids.  Emily and Landon and I drove from 95 degree heat towards south county, and were greeted not-so-warmly- with rain.  It was depressing on one hand, but also a nice break from the severe heat at our house.  So, we made adjustments and had our lunches at the park. My kids had a great time playing with Asher, Dawnielle's 18 month old son, and D and I had a great time catching up.  It was a great day and as I left, I had one of those moments where you thank God for friends, the friends who will always be your friends, no matter what circumstances life throws at you.  I feel I have reconnected with several of those types of friends this summer.  And I am so thankful. It was a great day.  Thanks Dawnielle- we're off to Frank and Nanc's next!

I too am truly thankful for those friendships that were made for a lifetime :-) The ones that you can just pick up where you left off- they know where you've been and understand where you're going- AMEN! Thanks for being one of those friends! We love you guys! Can't wait to hang again soon!
