memorial day...

What a wonderful holiday weekend...it was wonderful to get away, enjoy time with family and have normal find us. Of course we had Camryn's medicines and shots; but for a few days we were a family on vacation and truly we soaked it all in...

All of it...

This little girl adored Morro Bay. I must admit that she is looking more and more like herself to us...love this darling girl.



Playing on the giant community chess board...yes, there are giant size pieces you can rent if you'd like a game. Camryn and Wyatt opted for a made up game of racing around the colors.



Watching fishermen cut up fish on their boat while the seagulls, pelicans and seal waited for the scraps. The kids loved watching the animals, especially the seal...they had lots of fun with their Daddy checking it all out.



Down on a boat dock to get closer to the water with Makenna, my Dad and Josh. Yes, there was no railing which made me quite nervous, needless to say we didn't stay too long on the dock.



Wyatt and Makenna...



Beautiful...



Sleepyheads...they thought it was just too cool to share a bed. Wyatt chatted and chatted long after Camryn was sound asleep, but Camryn sleeps like a rock which is a good thing. Wyatt rolls, talks in his sleep and just is the most crazy sleeper ever, but they survived...



Classic vacation picture that mom makes you take...



Treasures in Wyatt's hand...



Hunting for treasure on Moonstone Beach in Cambria...absolutely beautiful. Lots of shells, rocks, all sorts of fun treasures of the sea.



Almost can't believe she's a year post-transplant...what a miracle packaged in a six year old. Loving how Camryn is returning to Camryn...her face, her smile...but her eyes those never changed. Those blue eyes...melt my heart.



Again the picture mom makes you take, but this time I captured the classic Wyatt...honestly Wyatt isn't the best spot at taking pictures, but oh my goodness how I love his goofyness, quite a three year old.



Checking out the star fish...



Love these boys...



Me and my boy...



We had such fun, it was wonderful to be away; absolutely wonderful. But, the best part? Being together...being a year past last year. Realizing that there is lots ahead this week and lots to celebrate this week. Thankful oh so thankful...

And on Memorial Day we remember the many who have served our country and protected our freedoms...

The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. ~ Abraham Lincoln, The Gettysburg Address

Thank you.
