Way Too Much Fun

OK It really wasn't, but I like the sound of it.

The weather was beautiful and warm, days full 0f sunshine. The beach was pretty nice, fair bit of coral reefing close to shore which made it difficult to walk out in a straight line and just swim, but it was great for casual snorkeling. Quite a few sea urchins, which I discovered up close and personal.

I {had/got/received} so much {joy/wonder/enjoyment} from my grandson, he is learning slowly who I am, I think that the beard is what freaks him out. But he is learning. Just watching him react to various things would be enough to send me off into fits of joyous delighted laughter. I don't do that quietly either and sometimes that is all it takes to scare him off. We breakfasted lunched and dinnered with D2 S1 and GS1 every day, and that was a delight just to share those daily times with them.

GS1 is large for a 10 month old so I find we are sort of expecting more from him than he is really capable of yet, give him time though and all these things we are waiting for WILL happen.

My sweet daughter, this wonderful grandson's mother, continues to fill me with wonder and awe. I am AweFull (borrowed from Mary or Sarah, can't remember which) when I watch her being a mother to this wonderful small person. She seems to be such a natural and she is so obviously besotted with love for this little guy that it fair takes my breath away. We were at the beach and he was a little restless so D2 started singing to him. She was singing and gazing at him and he was loving it and gazing up at his Mom... (The wind has picked up and made my eyes water a bit!) such an incredible moment for me to watch love.

I am continually being made proud by my three sweet daughters. I was able at different times to walk the beach with each of my daughters, and I gotta tell you, they all amaze me, and fill me with joy. Joy that takes your heart and mind and squeezes, until you have to gasp. I am so blessed.

It is remarkable how little it costs to have a bit of fun. I was at the Dollar store with D2, she was picking up some supplies for the trip for GS1. I spotted some kites, packaged in twos for a dollar, so I bought 2 packages. We had a great time flying them, D1 and S2 had a bit of a competition going, mostly D1 taunting S2 that her kite was higher.

LifeWife has posted some, a few, OK OK, 120 at last count, pictures which do an admirable job of hitting some of the highlights.

There are people in our lives that effect us every day,
people that provide a base,
people that encourage us to be who we are,
people that accept us for who we are,
people that consistently remind us of who we are,
people that contribute to who we are,
people that help us to {change/improve} who we are,
people without whom we would be {lost/bereft/fundamentally alone},
LifeWife, I love you.
