We had a great family trip to Orange Beach, AL. Thanks to Aunt Bobby for spear-heading it! Getting together with our extended family at the holidays has become more and more difficult as we all get older and now all have in-laws, "outlaws" and kids. So the family trip to the beach every 2-3 years was started! Let's make sure we keep it up! We all converged at Orange Beach from 3 states. We enjoyed relaxing, playing games, catching up and a nice evening out to dinner, sponsored by Mom and Jim (THANKS SO MUCH!). Claire was such a joy to watch. She is in DISCOVERY MODE and I LOVE IT! She enjoyed the pool a lot. Thanks Mom and Jim for the Baby Ring! It made a big difference! You only get one chance to catch the major "firsts" in your child's life...and to me, the first time in the sand and in the ocean is a biggie! I would have loved to have been in her head hearing her thoughts about how it felt and how it tasted :)) It was good to take it all in with her. She even held her balance in the sand walking around with the wind blowing! (You got it...she's walking a lot!) It was nice to be away and I'm always refreshed by the breeze and sound of the waves lapping onto the shore. We told Claire one morning that the waves hitting the shore was a picture of the love of Almighty God for her...constant, never changing, enduring, refreshing and full of Life!
