Rehoboth Getaway

We had such a great time for our little overnight trip to the beach. We seem to pack in so much in such a short 24 hours. We enjoyed the beach, the hotel pool, great seafood dinner, shopping and my favorite Grotto's pizza. The two biggest differences in going to the beach in the north as opposed to going to Myrtle Beach, it is so crowded on the beach. That is one thing I love about going to Myrtle is that you don't lay blanket to blanket. The other is the water is so cold up here. By the time we go in August the ocean water is like bath water. It was so great to get away to the beach however it has made us miss our week at the beach this year. Malcolm and I said definitely next year we will be going to Myrtle! It is so worth the drive.

MG turns 10

I can hardly believe he has turned 10! It was actually a sad occasion for me, in the midst of the birthday celebration I realized that we were over halfway to 18! Where has the time gone, it feels like yesterday he was a baby. Knowing how fast these 10 years have gone by, the realization the the next 10 will go equally as fast sadden me. I tell him all the time he can live with me forever! Although he finds comfort in that now, I am sure there is going to be a day when he is ready to break free from his mom. I don't think I will ever be ready for that day. I enjoy him, he is such a pleasure to be around. And he still likes and wants my hugs and kisses!

These are a few things that are important and his favorite at 10:

• Legos
• Playmobil
• Webkinz
• Payday, on Thursdays if he does his chores
• History Channel
• Rita's water ice
• Scouts

These are the things he sees in his future at 10:

• Having a wife, there are a few girls he has picked out now, and I will say he chooses well, lets see who is still around.....
• He wants to drive a Mustang GT, the kind that looks like the one in the 60s
• He wants to serve a mission for our church and hopes they send him to China
• He wants to be a neurosurgeon.

I have always felt blessed to be his Mom, he is an extraordinary kid!
