Just a few weeks ago my sweet baby girl graduated from high school. Today she is turning 18 years old and in one short month she will be leaving us for college. When I am working, I work whole heartedly, and I miss a lot of  time with the children. I often forget how fast this time with the kids is really going. With my work schedule as it is, a family vacation to the beach is super important to us all. This is our beach week… I will post periodically, but I am not in the flower shop this week. I have this one precious week with my kids. Our oldest is engaged and Hannah leaves for college next year. Having all seven kids together will only get more difficult in the future. I am going to treat this week like the precious gift that it is.

 

I have spent the first days of this vacation just in awe,  I am constantly shocked and blown away by the beauty of my family. If anyone had told me 25 years ago, (yes 25 years ago) that I would have 7 children with my husband over a 23 year span, I would have surely thought they were crazy. I am not quite sure how we were so blessed but I am truly one lucky lady.

 

Happy birthday Abby, and happy family time.
