Beautiful Maryland and Delaware!

Well, we are getting ready to wrap up our summer vacation this year. We spent some time in Maryland and Delaware with some really good friends (actually, family in our minds) who live up there. We spent four days on the beach in Delaware and stayed at a great condo that overlooked the Atlantic Ocean. This being Sam's first trip to the beach we were pretty sure he would love it. He gets so extremely excited about the sand box at home that we knew he would be overwhelmed with all the sand on the beach. We were not disappointed. He spent most of his time digging and finding new things but also spent quite a bit of time standing with his daddy on the shore letting the waves crash into him. He would scream with joy when the waves crashed into his legs. He had a blast and we did too. Anna and Emily, our God-daughters, were a blessing as well. I have never seen two more well-behaved girls in my life. I honestly think you could leave them in a house by themselves for an entire week and they would be just fine. Beautiful, precious gifts from God. Anyone who would think otherwise clearly isn't thinking much. We will get up and go to church tomorrow, and head back to OKC late Sunday night. Big work week ahead as we get ready for several things coming. A mission trip from Shawnee, Kansas, trying to plan for Celebrate Recovery, and more boot camp! Peace!
