so it's friday night and i'm taking a break from packing up all our stuff to head home! what a beautiful week it's been here in n. myrtle beach. it feels really strange to say i'm kind of sad to leave... (normally when we travel i'm excited to come back home) we've made some really precious memories here. kyleigh had never been to the beach and madison only once before for my brother's wedding, which she was too young to remember. it made me smile each day as i watched madison play with a giant grin on her face. she loves building "drip" sandcastles, and chase the seagulls, and roll around in sand as the tide rolls into shore. and as i sit here typing i here dan explaining to her we're going back to our house tomorrow. i don't think she really gets it, because apparently this house is prettier and she thought we were staying here. oh goodness, she's a silly girl! and kyleigh... well this week i discovered she like sand. a lot. so much that she wouldn't stop eating it by the handfuls. and no, i'm not kidding. gross, huh? but she was so cute, storming the beach smiling and talking (i'd love to know what all that jibber jabber meant!) i think she really enjoyed being unconfined and free to run around boundary-less. i really can't even express into words what this week has meant to me. all i can say is how good and gracious the Lord is. beyond words, beyond expression, beyond imagination.....and I can say that because i know it's true. and this week was a blessing from God. James 1:17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above....."
pictures to come :)
