heart day

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today we had planned on doing dinner and such; but since Tuesday's news our plans have changed quite a bit for the weekend...so, instead of dinner and a night out we had a day outing instead.

Jason suggested we take Camryn to her most favorite place...no, not D.land although I'm sure she would have loved that. But, due to her low counts we had to stay away from children...so we went to a place where we always seem to go with Camryn. Ventura beach...

Camryn affectionately calls Ventura "her beach". She absolutely loves digging in the sand...seriously this girl loves sand. She could do without the water, but she does love the sights and sounds of the ocean from afar.

Wyatt loves the beach too and it is fun taking him as he is more and more interested in the fun. He had fun looking at rocks...digging in the sand...touching the water, yes the very cold water.

Yes, these two enjoy the beach quite differently...but they sure do enjoy it in their own way. We had a picnic lunch on the beach and just hung out for awhile. All in all it was a very nice way to spend Valentine's...with the three people I love most.

Wy...enjoying the rocks



Cam...just a cutie

Love...(Camryn took this pic)



Today was a nice reminder that we have much to be thankful for...Ventura always seems to remind us of how far we've come. We first took Camryn up there when she was sick and ever since Ventura has been hers. Now we wait...I won't lie, parts of today have been a bit harder than the last few days. Praying she was just having a day...it's hard to wait. So very hard.

Heard this song last night...seems perfectly fitting:

While I'm Waiting
John Waller
The Blessing

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience

While I’m waiting
I will serve You
While I’m waiting
I will worship
While I’m waiting
I will not faint
I’ll be running the race
Even while I wait

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it’s not easy, no
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait

And I will move ahead, bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience

While I’m waiting
I will serve You
While I’m waiting
I will worship
While I’m waiting
I will not faint
I’ll be running the race
Even while I wait


I will move ahead, bold and confident
I'll be taking every step in obedience, yea

While I’m waiting
I will serve You
While I’m waiting
I will worship
While I’m waiting
I will not faint

I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting on You, Lord

Only 3 more wake ups...
