The Ocean through the Eyes of a Child

Yesterday, we took a day trip down to Gulfport...one of the many perks of living in Hattiesburg. William had never been to the ocean or beach before, so we had so much fun just watching him take it all in. His reactions were priceless, and reminded us of the amazing beauty and wonder of God's creation. He was in awe and wonder of everything from the ocean to the seagulls. I definitely think we'll be making many trips back in the future. But, first, allow me to show you the ocean in a whole new light...through a child's eyes...

First experience of toes in the sand...obviously not a fan

Still not a fan

Getting a little better

First look at God's amazing creation...wow!

Could've stared at it all day long

And....not a fan of the water!

Safe back in daddy's arms

Until next time...

Hooray for Free!!

Boys will be Boys

We've been busy over the last few weeks getting settled into the new house. William is loving it, but mostly the big yard with lots of dirt. He's become quite the little boy lately, just wanting to be outside, playing with trucks in the dirt. I suppose that I knew it would come someday, I was just hoping to hold onto my little baby for a little while longer, though. This stage is so very fun, though, as he is constantly cracking me up!

His first pair of Levi's...contain yourself, ladies!

Fun with dad

Who needs toys when there's dirt?

Throwing acorns and watching them fall

Loves walking around with his ear protection!

Love that irresistible smile!
