A Pajama Mama

The next time you see a Fahy family portrait, it will include their new little China doll. We bid the three farewell with hugs, kisses, and prayers this morning. The rest of us are here at the beach...waiting for it to stop raining. My heart was full and my eyes were, too, with tears as I hugged BeachMama good bye. I could feel her heart breaking to leave 4 of her children for two weeks, but I could also feel her anxious anticipation of holding her new daughter in her arms. Please continue to pray...they are in the air right now. Back to my duties....

Well, folks. We're headed for a week at the beach again....but to a different coast, same state. We'll be keeping Beachmama and Beachdaddy's kids while they and their oldest Beachboy go to China to bring home their new daughter ! You can follow their exciting journey here . Please pray for them...for travel safety, for every detail to be worked out perfectly, and that their Chinadoll will bond to them quickly and feel their deep love for her. My sweet friend and her little boy will be joining us on our journey to the coast. The Daddies and one little 18 month old angel will be joining us for the weekend. Talk about a house FULL! It will be GREAT! Now...what does this have to do with cantaloupes, you ask? I had the dreaded "female" dr appointment today. Surprisingly, I found out that I'm expecting a little baby cantaloupe, 12 cm in diameter, in the form of a fibroid. Thankfully, I haven't had any of the severe symptoms. We are weighing our options and prayi...

Here are the guys in their tkd duds. The Hero has just started back tkd after being out two months with his back injury. Even so, he's still being very careful and taking it slow and easy....no bending, no kicking, etc. The Butter kept on plugging away at it, though, and is now one belt up on his daddy. See his green belt!?!?! Do you know what that means? It means his Daddy has to stand behind him during practice AND the Daddy has to BOW to the son. I think that's kinda funny.....

This..... plus this... Equals a fun, impromptu girls night with C-10 while the guys are at tkd!!

My darling Aunt Ro invited us to join her and her family for a week at their favorite vacation spot....Cocoa Beach, Florida....home of beautiful beaches on the Atlantic and the all-famous Ron Jon's Surf Shop. (Yes, we went to Ron Jon's.) It's also where NASA/Cape Canaveral is and we spent one day there. Did I mention there was a nice Dunkin Donuts near our place?? We played at the beach, ate, swam at the pool, ate, relaxed in our condo...But most of all, we enjoyed being with Aunt Ro and my cousins and their kids. Enjoy the slide show....

Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, you are very great. You lay the beams of your chambers on the oceans; You make the clouds your chariot With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the Lord; Let the ocean roar and all that fills it! The heavens declare the glory of God and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. As high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear Him; And as far as sunrise is from sunset, He has separated us from our sins.

I'm taking a blogging break while we go on a beach vacation for a week!! Y'all behave now, ya hear?
