It's a Wonderful Life....: August 2010

More of Cannon Beach

Here's a few more pics of our time in Cannon Beach.

Bob and I walked into the wee town for breakfast and found a lovely little spot for coffee and a shared cinnamon bun.....yummmm

On the dull day, we decided to explore the aquarium up the coast a bit....we fed the seals.... Jacob looked at the specimens....and Cole touched them...all of them.

Our lovely hotel room with a gorgeous view of the coast.

We live in a beautiful corner of the world....I love exploring it. We hadn't been to the Oregon coast for ages....it was well worth the drive.

Vacation time at Cannon Beach

The Oregon Coast is magnificent and especially Cannon Beach...we met up with P&S and the boys while they were camping there.

We found a lovely hotel right on the beach with a fireplace and ocean view....lovely.

We walked, ate fish and chips, poked thru the shops and just relaxed. It was a wonderful few days....then drove leisurely back home. (I must admit I had more than one shopping accident along the way!)

I truely believe that sometimes.....time spent "just being" is time well spent.

Just being you; just being in God's beautiful world; just being together....In my opinion, we sometimes try too hard "to do", and don't spend near enough time "just being".

I guess that goes along with - Be still and know that I am God.

Hope you can find the time to "just be" today.

Be blessed, my friends!

For this child we prayed

This is definitely a catch-up post.....time stops for no man....Kenzie is now FIVE MONTHS old....where does the time go?

My good friend Diana and her 1st granddaughter (she has SIX grandsons!) Everyone is special and loved SO much.....but the first girl....well...it's just fun for Diane to shop on the pink side of the store now!

Laura and Josh have been waiting a while for this wee girlie....they had a miscarriage last year...so it is very true.....for this child we prayed.

While visiting wee Kenzie Diane, I had the honor of witnessing Josh's Grandparents hold this precious babe and pray over her....Kenzie has a strong and mighty heritage....what a blessing!

Welcome Kenzie Diane....you are a special gift from God.

Grandma Rosie turns 90!

On the very day of her Birthday the brothers three and their wives had a luncheon to celebrate all things Rosie. And, yes, they do all look alike! Ron and Roger are 12 and 14 years older than Bob.....Robert was a wee surprise!

My MIL is the best MIL in the world....she is kind, and sweet....quick-witted and loving. She had missed Dad terribly since his passing.....but tries to be patient waiting for her turn to go home.
