Virginia

I thought it was about time to post some pictures of our trip. This is inside Luray Caverns. It's a beautiful place and such a different type of cave than Carlsbad Caverns. Luray seems to be more interactive because the cavern isn't as tall so you feel like you are right in the middle of the beauty.








I've also officially decided it's much more fun to experience things through my kiddo. He loved the caves! "Wrock" "wrock" that's all he kept saying--he loves rocks!










I'd also like to take this time to mention that my family rocks. This was about the best cake I've ever eaten. My sister-in-law made this cake and it was really beautiful before we started eating it. ;) That icing was really fantastic and I definitely need to get that recipe. Every time I make frosting it's thin and runny--look at how thick that stuff is!



Sorry for a rambling post.

What Great Things He Has Done

This past week has so much to be thankful for that I find it hard to narrow down.  I am especially thankful for a flexible little 21 month old boy who did wonderfully traveling to visit family.  He did not cry or get upset on either 5 and a half hour flight to and from Washington, DC.  The only time he felt the need to cry was after being in the car one and half hours after DC traveling to VA.  My husband graciously told him "it's okay, you can cry you've come about 1500 (?!) miles."  I am thankful for a loving and patient husband who carried our son everywhere in airports and held him in his lap on the plane.  What joy it is to see the bond they have together.  My son is usually pretty rigid in his schedule and liking things to be the same so I figured he would have a hard time on our travels since we stayed at a new place nearly every night, but he slept wonderfully!  God was so good to insure that our time in VA was an enjoyable time with family. It seems like a minute thing in the grand scheme of life, but I am so thankful to have a God who is personal and cares about even the small things of life.  Who knows even the hairs on my head.
