We're on the home stretch!

So much to catch you up on... where to start? Well, Zac's mom and sister just left after a week visit to see Makenna and me. It was nice. We stayed busy going to the beach and the pool. Since they were here during the 4th, we got a chance to watch the fireworks show here at the base. Cathy and Makenna danced to the sounds of the really great band that was playing.



There is nothing better than to be able to enjoy God's beauty with all the time in the world. Our day at the beach was nice. The weather was hot, but the breeze from the ocean made it tolerable to sit there in the heat. Here in Navarre beach, they are dredging the sand to create more beach since after the hurricanes pretty much destroyed what was there. So naturally, the seashells are abundant.

One of the highlights was when Cathy found this beauty mixed in the seaweed and sand. What a find, huh?




After swimming and playing, everyone took a break to sit and read a book.
I found it funny when Makenna sat down and started reading a book of her own! LOL! What a sight we all must have been



Since Zac's birthday is the 8th, on Monday we baked some of his favorite cookies to send to him. Chocolate chip... and Makenna made him some dinosaur cut-out cookies as well.
Not sure what they tasted like, as Cathy and Radha are strict vegetarians and don't eat eggs... so we used an egg substitute in the cookies. They had fun baking them at least while I finished painting the kitchen.

The visit was nice, but back to reality... this house is still a work in progress and I have so much to do before Zac gets home.
