Our Kauai vacation ~ Day 2

Our second day was spent at a beautiful place called Lydgate Beach. We were told
it was a good area to practice snorkeling, which is what we did a whole lot
while in Hawaii, so it was especially good for the youngests to get the hang of it.

Our Kauai vacation ~ Day 1

Our first day was spent flying to Kauai and seeing the home we had rented
for our stay. The kids did great on the flight and the home was just perfect.
Plenty of room for everyone and absolutely gorgeous surroundings.

Flooding and blessings

I'm sitting outside crying. And not because we came home from church to four to five inches
of water covering a good part of our basement. But because within ten minutes of discovering
such a terrible flood, friends starting pouring into our home and served us in a way that
makes me sob. There were at least three dozen people who went to work and kept a
truly horrible situation from becoming so much worse. And even after their amazing
help, calls and texts and offers keep coming. I am humbled to the core of my being.

Today turned out to be much different, and much more intense, than I could have ever
imagined when it all began. But the blessings have been much bigger and more amazing
than I could ever have dreamed. There is a tremendous amount of good in the world.
And we were the recipients of more kindness than I know how to wrap my mind around.

Thank you, thank you, thank you wonderful friends. We will be praying for incredible
blessings to come your way, because you brought so many our way, when we needed it most.

So much goodness

My sweet friend sent me this photo she took while Campbell was speaking at graduation
yesterday. It did something to my heart. That is a lot of goodness in one picture.
Including that incredible boy at the podium. Our future is in good hands. I can feel it.

Fly high my darling boy.
