Yesterday

Hi, family!  We did make it to the beach yesterday at Grandmother and PaPa's hotel.  We had planned on swimming, but the children were just not well enough to take the plunge.  We found out after making that decision that the water temperature was only 50 degrees, so it made the decision to keep dry a little less disappointing.  I wish I could show you a picture of the children running on the beach, Bo soaking wet after a fall in the icy cold waves, and Emaline chasing seagulls, but I (Lori) forgot to bring the camera.  Sorry about that!  I'm hoping we might get back over there before Grandmother and PaPa head out of town.

Today has been another restful day of recuperation from this cold.  Thankfully, Mama, Daddy, and Baby have all stayed well.  The others have been feeling kind of yucky for about a week, though. Farrah, Savana, and Lily Ann stayed at the hotel last night, feeling mostly well.  Too bad they can't swim at that really fun pool with a corkscrew slide!  Maybe in a couple of days, Lord willing.

Well, it's time to go and listen to a young man read a book he got for Christmas before all the little busy guys get up from their naps.    It's a pictorial autobiography by James Irwin, the Christian astronaut.
