Our Saturday at the Beach

Finally..we got out of the house! We've been stuck inside for so long..just trying to work through some health issues with our son Cameron. He was diagnosed with gastroparesis in August and then in September with eosinophilic gastroenteritus.



I don't remember the last time that I have been so aware of the wonderful ocean air...I've stayed away from the beach for very long intervals before..often letting a year pass in between visits. When I finally go again I don't remember being so aware of sound of the waves and the refreshing ocean air...sure I appreciate it always..but Saturday it was different.. I think we just REALLY needed it this time.

We went to Sprecklesville Beach. Here is Cameron when we first got out of the car...his first time out doing something other then doctors appointments in months and months. He's gotten really 'comfy' staying at home every day..didn't really want to go even, but we insisted it would be good for him.



I promised him just an hour..for lunch and to sit back and read..no pressure. We did our after lunch walk there too..it was such a nice change from the same walk around the neighborhood.



He even did a little exploring with his dad by the tide pools.





We probably stayed an extra hour..and after we stopped at my favorite health food store Mana Foods and picked up some supplies and some frozen yogurt to eat on the way home. Such a simple outing yet sooo very refreshing and very very much needed!

Luv from a father and husband...

Yesterday my husband texted this picture to Cameron and I. He had gone to the shooting range and then to the beach to have his lunch before he started work. He called first and I got to hear the crashing waves as we chatted a little. I know he needs a little escape once in a while to help the stress, especially since he is our main bread winner...but he knew I was a little sad that we couldn't be there with him and so he thought this would help. (I'm the main care taker for our son who is chronically ill so outings are usually very quick, by myself and with purpose.) It did help a little because it was so sweet.

Meet Kobryn

As promised I have a couple of pics of the new little guy in my life. Our visit was really quick because he had just woken up from a four hour nap and was realy hungry. I had my son with me so the new momma needed some privacy to breast feed. He was quite grumpy as he'd just been circumsized before his nap. So I got to hold him for maybe a minute but then gave him back before he really started wailing..and then took a couple quick snap shots with my camera phone...





Tommorrow we head to the beach to spend some time with a long time friend visiting...we were close when we were teenagers and I've gotten to see her here on Maui a handful of times. Last time was 2005 when the group of us old gal pals got together. This time she has her family with her..I've never met her husband and step daughter so I'm excited to see them tomorrow.
