Life's a Beach!

So Xee took five days in a row off for a little R & R, and wow! It was like we were on vacation...in Hawaii. Only, there was no jet lag and no touristy agenda, we had a stocked fridge, didn't need a rental car, and we slept in our own beds! Daddy really needed this break from work. We all needed the time as a family. We spent time splashing around in the lagoons near our home and just enjoyed the spectacular view. What a blessing it is to be surrounded by such beauty every day. The down side? It's summer in Hawaii and the "squitos", as Phoebe would call them, are quite prevalent this time of year. Break out the calamine and cortizone creams. It's gonna be one ITCHY summer!

Now that Xee is back to his normal schedule, I am mourning the loss of my second pair of hands during the day...when he wasn't napping, that is. And it was nice to connect as a couple too. Time alone with your spouse. What? Such a novelty! Okay, those of you without kids who are nodding your heads in agreement, you haven't a clue! Anyway, speaking of kids, Phoebe is just cracking us up. She is having lots of fun and she continues to develop into such a little person. It is so much fun to watch. She is silly and sassy and full of energy! We do our best to keep up. So what are you up to this summer? Hopefully you're having some fun while you beat the summer heat!!
