...are what vacation is all about!! We are such a beach family - it's crazy. We spent our days heading to the beach by 8 a.m (9 at the latest!) and staying until the sun started to set. That is truly my favorite way to spend a day. Koa did so great - as long as he had shade he just snoozed the day away. Ezzy and Jude alternated between sand and water, but Kai was in the water the entire day every day.

Me with 3 out of 4 boysIt was such a blessing to have this time together as a family and a great way to end the year. I love how God just takes care of us and gives us times of refreshment when we need it. It's amazing, though, because fighting between these boys can ruin even the most idyllic setting. I read a new book on this trip, "Siblings without Rivalry." An excellent read. Scott is reading it right now too and we're really trying to change our ways. The book just gives us some skills of how to talk to our children and things we can do to encourage them to get along and solve their problems. I'll probably be writing more about this topic, because I think it's one of the most challenging aspects of parenting, but for now I'll close with this awesome video of Kai surfing! I'm so proud of him so I have to show off just a little bit!
