The salt sea in our hair, cool sand between our toes, clam shells in our pails, and the sun kissing our skin... this is where we fill our lungs with warmth and exhale long and happy.

You made them (humans) rulers over the works of your hands;
you put everything under their feet:
all flocks and herds,
and the animals of the wild,
the birds in the sky,
and the fish in the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.

Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

*LOVE* all these photos my sweet friend! SO beautiful!! Welcome HOME!! Looks like you had a fabulous time away. I've been thinking of you and praying for you. I am glad you are safely home. I trust you are all refreshed from your time in the surf and sun. :)
Love to you!

Looks like you had a great time down south with your family. I love the pictures (especially the one of Meghan's dance pose in front of the sunset). You have a such a beautiful family.
oh what beautiful pictures. I felt myself relaxing just looking at them. I think my favorite was the one of your children holding hands in a circle on the beach. It screams of how blessed we are to have wonderful children in our lives!
