I thought I would have to teach my daughter about the world; turns out I have to teach the world about her. They see a girl who doesn't speak,
I see a miracle who doesn't need words.

Nags Head

Wow, I have a lot of blogging to catch up on!

For now I'll just start with our recent trip to the Outer Banks.  Our friends the Morris' invited us to Nags Head for Spring Break and we had a great time!

Scott, Leslie and Jeff


We enjoyed a lot of time on the beach, and even though the water was freezing, it didn't stop my little fish from going in.

We were lucky enough to have Alex's respite worker, Ronica, with us.  It is such a blessing to have people who love Alex to sacrifice time from their lives to make ours a little easier.  Ronica was up every morning to take care of Alex and entertain her.  It was awesome having her with us so we could truly relax.  She's wonderful with Alex and we are grateful.

 




The boys tried out their rock climbing abilities and were quite impressive!







We drove the truck out to Oregon Inlet and enjoyed a day at the beach while the guys tried their hand at  fishing.









And while the girls relaxed!






Zach lost interest pretty quickly and decided to just play in the sand.








I think Zach should be the poster child for Cheez-It's considering it was the main staple in his diet.






When we got back from the beach Ronica was nice enough to watch all the kids so that we could go out for a nice seafood dinner.




One of my favorite parts of the trip was Alex getting to put her feet in the water....while it was freezing, she LOVED it!





It was a great trip with good times, good friends and great memories!
