at the palm trees growing in the middle of desert bushes
at how quickly our children adjust to new places
at the beauty of the Pacific ocean
at how cold that same ocean is
at the "Pirate Ship" at the Marina that Alex wants to claim his very own
at the dropped jaw of Maya and Alex as they watch Shamu the killer whale make a jump
at the huge kites at Seaport Village
at Jack's giggles as his feet splash in the water for the first time
at the great (did I say great!) food at J Wok
at how nothing beats riding a tractor or a pony...or just the fun you can have on a farm!
at new friendships
at missing old friendships
at God's gracious providence
at how I really, really need my right thumb (yeah, well, I thought I didn't till I couldn't use it any more for a while due to an injury....what can I say, I learn the hard way and Chris usually gets to say, "I told you so!".....
and at how quickly time goes by.
Indeed we are "but a breath" like the Psalms have told me over and over again. But our moments here in San Diego will be like the rocks and seashells we've collected on it's beaches - beautiful, meaningful, and worth taking along with us.
Next stop: Augusta, GA! The main attraction there per our kids - THE DOGS - Titus and Gilmore! Alex wants to "wrestle with Titus".....we'll keep you posted on how that one goes....
