Unexpected Joys

August 11th, 2009

A child’s wonder borders on magical.  I always knew when we added a child into our family that Christmas would regain some of its sparkle, I just didn’t know the rest of life would.  I am absorbed watching my daughter take in life.  A trip to the beach for the first time in her life may have been more exciting to me than it was to her.  What JOY!

No fear now.

None at ALL!

And kites.

And footprints.

And a new change of clothes.

    Too fun! What a perfect forever family:) Oregon coast rocks! Have been to that Hawaiian restaurant there? And also, my favorite were the tsunami exit signs. Uhh, thanks for the tip!
