the first of many...

Our summer is CA-RA-ZY! Last week we started it off with another first...the BEACH!!! Chan Chan loved it! I'm so thankful that he adores the water. I haven't had time to edit the bazillion pics that I took & won't have time for a bit because we are headed back to the beach tomorrow the Seniors from the youth group. We'll be home a day to do laundry & worship at church & then will head to Boone, NC with the new 6th graders! Should be loads of fun! I'm so thankful for a precious, precious son that is so laid back and relaxed. I know I couldn't do this with just ANY kid! I seriously have counted my blessings so much! He did so well as we were hanging out at the beach with the family (more pics of that to come b/c I haven't had time to get them all loaded & edited) and then with friends! Such a great first memory of the beach!

 Our sweet friends, the Hardins!

 John has been dreaming of doing this just like his dad did with him when he was small.

 The best $ I've ever spent! Channing took 2+ hour naps on the beach while momma soaked up the sun!



new adventures...

Channing got to go swimming & camping recently. He LOVES the water and has already gone under quite a few times.  He doesn't fuss or anything. It was so important to John that Channing love the water, because he loves it and when summer comes around we are in it alot. He's been to the lake and in the pool we have in the back yard and doesn't mind either one at all. I do think he likes the lake the best, because he can motor around in his float as he wishes because his feet can touch. He's quite independent.  We are very excited to be taking him to the beach this week to add another first to the list. We are loving having all these new experiences with him. It's so much fun for us & him! We feel so blessed to be his parents. Enjoy the pics of our adventures.
