Sanibel Island

We stopped when we got to Atlanta-

taking 2 days to make the 17 hour drive.

We saw lots of smiles from his seat... he traveled

way better than we expected!

Reed's first experience of the ocean & sand

began with quiet puzzlement and quickly

turned to delight.

It was awesome to watch him take in the

vast creation of our awesome God,

and be there beside him to encourage

him to explore! I have never felt such

new emotion and joy as I have

watching new eyes take in beauty.

There is connection

between son of my womb and

Father of my soul.

I'm trying, and stumbling over words

to describe the joy.

I'm humbled, Father, by this gift You've given.

Awesome sand houses.

Lots of lovin' on Reed

Reed loved the birds. And he expressed his love

by either watching... or chasing!

All natural beach.

Many things were hashed on our walks down the beach.

Dolphins chased our boat...!
