Good Morning From Laguna...

It is a majestic morning here in Laguna Beach.  I decided it was just too wonderful to stay in bed and sleep, so I am on our balcony soaking up as much ocean as I can with my eyes.  Watching the sunrise and being alone with my thoughts in this place was FAR BETTER than sleep.  And because we are up on a cliff, the vantage point is vast.  I can see large rock formations in the water and watch the birds pass me by again and again.  

Yesterday was a day of total relaxation.  We simply lived.  And I was SO thankful to have D help me with the children.  E has hit a new milestone physically and I think cognitively too.  He is now crawling around like a champ and going from a sitting to laying position and vice versa in two seconds flat.  The baby seems much more content and able to occupy himself for longer periods of time.  For this, I am so grateful.  

It is hard for me to be in such beauty and not focus on the end.  Knowing that it is Tuesday already, I am trying to savor every moment.  Especially these moments, when I am enjoying a cup coffee, listening to some 80's music along with the ocean waves.  

Can you imagine what heaven is like when earth is this breath-taking?

sounds so great! We are in PA now in our hotel room. It is cozy, one child on each side of our bed, but it is nice to have our family together. I am on the internet and we are watching TV too. There is a pool here. I think Wes will swim this week!
Love,
