Your soccer skills baffled Finn and I just had to sign him up for soccer immediately after these beach sessions!

Your manners and patience with Ally and Eric amazed me.

You shared all your toys with us that first day.



Looking at these old pictures, I do miss the beach. When we moved more inland this past year, it just made more sense to take the kids to the local pool or to a beach closer to our house.

I miss this beach.

Today, at the same hospital Finn had his surgery to repair a broken arm, our summer pal gave his last breath. Both boys had unfortunate accidents. Our perspective on the severity of Finn's injuries was put in place right away with the loss of our friend. As we sat watching Finn sleep today in his big hospital bed, both Cam and I felt amazing blessing that Finn will be okay and also tremendous grief for our friends.

Life is fleeting. We all know that so well.
I need a moment this week to just sit at the beach. Not watching toddlers play. I just need to sit in that sand again and listen to the waves.
