Vacation

We went to Edisto Beach with the Millers a couple of weeks ago and had a wonderful time. James and I quickly realized that vacation with a toddler is very different from vacation without one. We used to go to the beach with a pile of books and we would lay in the sun until we couldn't stand it anymore. This year we didn't sit on the beach with a book much at all, but I had so much fun with my little girl.
It was so amazing to see Sadie experience a lot of firsts. She loved the beach - being able to run with no restraints. She loved the water and didn't get upset at all when she fell and got water in her face - she just got up and kept going with a huge smile on her face. She loved being outside must of the time. The house had a screened in porch that Sadie played on most of the time. We also rented bicycles and Sadie was totally relaxed riding along with her Daddy.
She has such a special personality and I just relished being with her for a whole week with nothing to do but enjoy her. It really just keeps getting better and better - each stage is more and more fun! I don't miss the newborn days at all! My friend Melissa has a tiny baby boy - I held him during house fellowship last night and got my fix!
As wonderful as the week was with Sadie, I am ready to an adult vacation with my husband - I have a pile of books waiting on me!
