Pondering
As I walked past my daughter's bedroom, a familiar tune played in her room. I put Eliana down to sleep with soft Christian music. When the cd player part of the boombox broke, I was relegated to using a cassette tape. So as I walked past her room tonight, I heard a tune that brought back a whole flood of memories. Memories that make me miss the home I grew up in, miss my Mom, miss how simple things were. I had to remind myself that in 30 years from now (if my Lord hasn't returned) I will be looking back on this time with those same memories. Memories of my children as little ones. Can I cry now?

Lots of adventure
This is our trip to Myrtle Beach, SC. The first night we went out to eat at an amazing restaurant. Mom finished her whole steak. If you know Mom DeCock, you know it must have been good.
A look inside our hotel room. It was more like an apartment. It was bigger than our house!
The kitchen, dining and part of the livingroom.
Sammie was in her room, coloring. She enjoyed having her own TV and balcony.
Mom talking to Dad on the phone. She tried to make him as much a part of the vacation as possible.
Sammie's first official sleepover!! Paul set up the tent on the backporch and they had a ball watching movies on the laptop.
Sammie and her best friend, Jenna.
Sammie's 6th birthday-her cousins, Patience and Sydney came to bring presents!
Sammie's first missing tooth!
A closer look, I hope you're not squemish.
