God has been gracious to us and has been with us through our journey of love and life. He has carried us through some of the most difficult times and has given us joy in the midst of sorrow. He has also been loving and given us abundant blessings. Most importantly, He has provided us with faith. May we share that faith with others.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
"God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame".

Hawaii Vacation Day #2

April 21st, 2014
We started our first full day in Hawaii with an early start.  We never did get on Hawaii time.  As soon as the kids were awake, Dave took them for a walk around the resort to explore.  We enjoyed the day by swimming in the pools.  Liam loved the water slides.  Lilly loved the splash pad area with Verona.  I got to visit the spa with my mom and had the best massage I've ever gotten.  We had dinner at the resort's buffet restaurant.  The food was amazing!  Liam was sound asleep by 6pm.  After tucking Liam in and leaving him in Grandma & Grandpa's care, we took Lilly for a walk to watch the sunset.

Instead of leis, the kids got necklaces.  Liam was a little disappointed, because he really wanted a necklace made of nuts like the guys.  Thankfully, Grandpa shared his, since he already had one.
