OBX Vacation

Time to start blogging again...things have just been crazy...or crazier than usual!

We went to the Outer Banks with our great friends, the Woodrums. Dara and Jerry have two 'angels', Jenna and Jule, who you might remember from previous posts is Alex's best friend. They also have a daughter Jean who Zach is absolutely crazy about. What an amazing week we had!! We took Jennifer with us, and Dara and Jerry's respite worker, Sarah, who just so happens to be Jennifer's sister. I cannot tell you what a blessing these girls are and how incredibly special they are. The obvious love they have for our girls is absolutely amazing. Jennifer had Alex sleep in her room with her so that Aaron and I could actually sleep in which was a vacation in itself! They did everything all week with the girls - took them on early morning walks, fed them, took them in the pool and hot-tub, played with them, read them stories, got matching tattoos for themselves, Alex got a pedicure, they put them to bed every night, etc. etc. - I don't think I will ever vacation again without them! :)
Other than the one day we took Zach to Duck to visit his best friend from pre-school, Aidan, who was vacationing down there the same week, Zach and Jean were glued at the hip the entire week and they get along so well. They wrote songs and practiced singing every night and our final night there they put on a little concert for us. Zach went crabbing for the first time and the guys took them out crabbing and fishing every night - and Dara and I enjoyed the amazing sunsets - it was a wonderful, RESTFUL vacation!!

Of course I took over 200 pictures and couldn't decide which pictures to post so I made a video...
