Super Fun Cruise!!

I was able to go on cruise with these three fabulous girls in June. We went to down to Cozumel, Mexico, which I must say the water is beautiful. The cruise ship had great shows, games, and even a Asian Beatles band. Our cruise director was "Big Tex", who despite his size, was a great dancer. The food was delicious. I am proud to say that I had an omelet every morning. One of my favorite treats was how every evening the housekeeper would turn down our beds and leave a mint on my pillow and one surprise towel animal on the bed. I am going to try get Mike to that trick. Overall, the cruise was a beautiful trip, full of laughter, friendship and food. If you ever get a chance to go on one, take it.

An Evening at the Beach

O.k. my first real blog story. I kinda feel like Lois Lane on Super Man typing her first story. After we ate dinner, we loading the up the car with three of us and a beach bag and headed to Jax Beach. We got there about 7:30 p.m. We got out of the car. Mike had Sophie, Sophie had her baby, and I had the beach bag and the chairs. We plopped down on the sand and everything was perfect... the temperature, the sunset, the breeze, the people, the sounds of the waves and seagulls.Well, my girl Soph is beach girl, so she head right for the water with her baby in hand. I followed her and the next few moments we wrestled with the waves. They turned us around and upside down and little Soph always came up wanting more. I am always amazed at her adventures spirit, and what a good little Mama she is because she held on tight to her baby and made sure she did not drown. After Sophie had her time with the waves, she sat down right against the shore line and started to pour the wet sand on her leg again and again and again. She would laugh when the water come and wash it way. After about 10 minutes, I decided hey I wonder what this feels like to her so I decided to join her in her activity. Turns out that letting warm, wet beach sand drop on to your legs is quit relaxing and feels kinda nice. We continued to this for another five minutes that Michael was so intrigued with us that he came over to ask us what we were doing. Next thing I know we were all pouring sand on our legs. I love stepping into Sophie's world, she lets me feel and see parts of the world I never knew existed. It was such a peaceful and beautiful night. I was so happy to be the present moment with my sweet family.

I'm back... for good!

It only took me a little over a year to post another story for my blog, but as I always say, better late than never. I must confess, I love this blogging thing. It is so much fun! However, I am not as computer savy as I want to be and have not figured out how to post my pictures or do a slide show (way cool) so bear with me on this part. I'll get there.
