Virginia Beach

30 seconds after this 1st photo 2 kids & I were in tears. My camera was precariously balanced on my camera bag while I try to use a remote timer to grab a few family images. My people were not having it.

Never believe the lie that someone else has it all together. Family is beautiful AND messy & it makes me cry a lot. And we learn to be resilient, laugh, & forgive.

We headed to Virginia Beach with family for a week to celebrate my sweet niece’s 2nd birthday and squeeze her because we do not get to do it nearly enough. My parents just moved to this amazing house and welcomed our crazy crew to crash it! Jason and I also celebrated 20 years of marriage July 7th- mind blowing to me it has been that long! My family graciously offered to watch our crew while we had a night on the beach- we actually realized the last time we stayed ONE THE BEACH was for our 10 year anniversary which was during our time in East Africa. Being on eth beach is my happy place!
