August was the month we found out how much Seea Grace loves the ocean and crawling on the beach! One evening we set her down and she just squealed as she crawled along the golden-green sand; even when waves would come up to her, she’d just charge right through 🙂 It was amazing to see the transformation of their friendship grow as they’d look at each other and just start laughing; it melted our hearts.
But blogging is a great way to reflect on the goodness of God and how He gave us so many gifts in the mundane and head-scratching days of all this crying. In the moment, it seems as if it will last forever, but as we look back, we miss it and so hopefully by looking back, we can look forward with more joy, more grace, and more presence in the present (no matter how chaotic it may be in baby-land).
Life lately in Hawai’i: waking up to the roosters crowing and bull frogs croaking in our backyard before the sunrises, enjoying the 20 yard walk to the ocean to watch the morning wake up, climbing rocks and stuff on our weekly hikes, hanging with friends in the North Shore tide pools, snorkeling in the clear water, and spending whole days getting sunburnt in the big blue 🙂
