Take a deep breath...

I will blame my lack of blogging on the fact that my kids had fall break. We took a short "vacation" to California to visit family. I use the term "vacation" rather loosely here, since I am really just "working off-site". We did have a lot of fun, though, and even got to dip our toes in the Pacific Ocean, a first for my kids!

The weather didn't cooperate, so it was WAY to cold to swim, but somehow that didn't stop the kids from getting SOAKING WET! We had to strip them down before they got into the vehicles, so they rode home in their underwear, which they thought was awesome.

It's amazing to me how something like a one-hour trip to the beach can be like taking a deep, relaxing breath. It's those "deep breath" moments that help keep me afloat!

I also think it's amazing that my husband managed to only take pictures of the kids from the back! (Love you, honey!)
