Sand Baby

In less than 1 week, I don't think I will be able to call Isaac a baby anymore because he will be two years old!  It is hard to believe he is now becoming a toddler!  When we ask him how old he is going to be on his birthday, he proudly states, "two!"

About a month ago, we spent a nice family vacation at the beach in Florida.  It was the first time we had taken either of our children and they both loved it!  Gabe, loved the water and spent as much time as he could playing in the water.

Isaac tolerated the water, but he really loved the sand!

It always made me laugh when Isaac accidentally got sand in his mouth.  He would make a funny face and grind his teeth.  I would then ask him if he ate sand and he replied with that same annoyed look, "yeah."  Then I would ask, "is it yucky." Which he would always say, "yeah".  

The boys were so sweet and made me a sand castle on mothers day.  Gabe told me about this "surprise" the Monday before we left.  I think that might have made the memory even better.

Gabe was so proud of their sand castle, which had a short life due to the destruction of hurricane Isaac.  Luckily, there are many distractions at the beach and Gabe recovered with few tears shed.  

Perhaps the moments that are most important in life are how we live every day, from minute to minute.  But it is very renewing every once in awhile to take time out of our daily routines, to just relax, and that's just what we did.  

I am so thankful that Isaac's bladder is healthy so that we could finally bring him and Gabe to the beach and share wonderful memories together.
