Today is Kianna's 14th birthday. She started it by disappearing again to the beach by herself at 6am. This parenting thing is still so hard. So much has changed over the past few years. She has finished her grade 8 year at CPES and was Salutatorian for graduation with 1% less than the valedictorian. Needless to say she has an academic drive that we hope will help her through her future years. With a talent and love for music she also surprised and impressed us with a song during graduation that she composed. With daily prayer and time-shared we hope to continue to connect with her and keep our relationship strong. She has many gifts to share, only God knows where they will carry her and who they with impact.
Caleb is thrilled to be going on a 3hour deep-sea fishing tour with Adam on Tuesday, while the girls are coming with me to see the musical Anne. We will explore tourist sites tomorrow. Rusty has been fine most of the time and we think we've found a dog sitter for the day we visit Avonlea Village. Other than that, he comes everywhere and sleeps well at night.
Sitting here on the beach I feel blessed and torn at the same time. Life is passing by so quickly. I want to absorb each moment rather than be responsible for laundry, dishes and organizational matters. Thank goodness for vacations like these that allow us to pause and reflect. On a lighter note, we are here at this one location for another week. The weather has been perfect, sun, sun, sun and today with a little wind. After this week we are heading to Nova Scotia to explore Cape Breton. Two entire weeks on the east coast, then traveling to our home sweet Camp Frenda for a week of tween camp. Adam will be the speaker there while the kids take classes. Again, I cannot complain, we are truly blessed and SO needed this time as a family.
We're considering leaving our trailer here at the end of 2015, then returning the following summer to stay for July again. It is beautiful. All welcome to join us!
