Anniversary Vacation

Hubby took the week of our anniversary off from work so we took the children on a vacation to the beach. There is a military resort a few hours away from our home.  It used to actually be military housing, but now it is a resort.  We were able to stay on ocean view side of the housing in a 4 bedroom house with a fireplace (actually a wood burning stove), washer and dryer, full kitchen, etc.

It was COLD, but we still had a lot of fun!

While the rest of the family was adventuring and freezing, the girls and I warmed up in the van.  Here is a nice mommy and Hannie cuddle! Doesn't pink just make everything seem more warm and snuggly?  I know, that is just weird to think of colors that way, but I am just kind of odd that way!

Some of these pictures may look familiar if you're a long-time reader of this blog.  We went to the same resort in January of 2007.  Last time, Noah was too little to drive a go-cart, a bumper car or anything!  He was happy to get to DRIVE this time!  That's him on the left and Russ with Hannah on the right!

These were on the slick track.  They wet it down and the drivers skid all over the place.  It is definitely NOT my cup of tea, so I am the official memory documenter!!!

I have seen several bald eagles and other raptors lately. I figure our rodent population must be extremely high for the raptor population to be doing so well ~

My name is Christina. I am 38 years old and have been happily married to my best friend, Russ for over 18 years! My username is quietcajun, but I am neither quiet, nor cajun! The nickname is based on my children's initials! The first four children are: Kaitlyn (16), Jordan (14 next month), Ian (12.5), and Noah (10 next month)... put their first intials together and you get KJIN (cajun). Sarah Hope is one of our babies in Heaven and Hannah (8 in September) is my youngest (so far). Put S and H together and you get SH as in SHHHH... QUIET. Get it? Thus, quietcajun! We are in our 12th year of homeschooling. We have tried public school, but we soon realized how important it is that they be HOME at all costs. Now we are back to having them all home again! It's not always easy, but it is for the BEST! Two of our children have Asperger's Syndrome. That is an adventure in itself. We are still learning! This blog is a place for me to sort out the daily joys and challenges of life as a mother and wife as I strive to love and know God more and bring GLORY to HIM in EVERY part of my LIFE!!!!
