Part II
A Getaway for Some
Paul and I had the opportunity to take the three youngest
kids away for one night in July.

Sadly, the big boys had to work and so,
they got left behind. To fend for themselves.

*Gasp*
They actually stayed across the street with their grandparents.
While Isabel, Claire and Asher got to have this view
It was a sweet time to just enjoy these little guys.
Without so must hustle and bustle!
Just relaxing pool side.
And walking to the beach when they wanted.
And back to the pool!
It reminded me of the vacations I took with my family when I was a kid.
And I got the opportunity to take photos showcasing each of these little treasures!
Claire Hope Kangtong - 6
Asher David Jun'an - 5
So! Much! Cuteness!
And then our middle
Isabel Lee - 11
So beautiful and turning into a young lady.
It ended too soon!
But that's okay, because the summer wasn't over.
We had lots more to do!
Because
The Cousins Came!
(Nineteen summers ago, Brooke, now 20 years old, came to stay with me for her first summer visit in Charleston. This year she brought her 5 month old daughter for the first time!)
Filling my table
My yard
My van
With noise and conversation
With people in every nook and cranny of our house!
With more sweetness than you could imagine!
They filled our days with fun!
And blessed our hearts in so many ways.
And it was good!
Very good!
But all things must end and the cousins had to leave.
Our house, but not our hearts!
We love our cousins and cherish each summer visit and every addition.
Kennley Elizabeth's first summer visit was a huge success and I am so grateful to her mommy for bringing her here to carry on a NINETEEN year old tradition!
