Night 3 (Higgs Beach)

 We walked on the long pier near the AIDS Memorial.  I knew very little about AIDS til I recently watched a documentary on Netflix about how hard it hit San Francisco and it broke my heart.  I cannot imagine losing almost everyone around you like most of those men did in those days.  I know it's controversial to talk about usually because of the nature of the disease but it was still sad for me to learn more about it.
 We had the kids in bed already when my Mom said it was too early for bed and we hopped up, threw on suits, and headed to let the kids swim.
 Brody is a kid at heart, love that boy.
 Mali Su always has to be first, if not, she gets a little pouty. 
 Brody loves to torture and pick on the boys, here they "fought."
 We left the pier and got in the water.  This beach was way choppier than normal so we had the kids stay close.
 Solomon sometimes puts his hands on his hips like this and it cracks me up.  It's like he's a little old man.
 These two have a relationship different than the rest of us.  Sometimes it feels like Brody is an only child.
 This boy would not leave me alone.  He crawled all over me, wanted to be held, and played with my face.
 Notice in that picture of him on my lap I do NOT look amused.  I love him, but man, I just wanted him to go play in the water.
 Then we left and the kids fell fast asleep.
Good idea Mia!

20 Weeks

Today we had the opportunity to go in for our 20 week ultrasound. We are excited to announce that baby #3 is a healthy BOY! We are excited but have to admit we are a bit nervous. Change is hard and after two girls this is definitely a change. It will be a fun and wonderful experience. I have already thought about little boy ACUs and PT clothes (little army clothes) and what I will decorate the "boy" room in etc. I have always heard boys are "easier" but more rambunctious so I guess we will just have to see. I was excited that during the ultrasound our little boy was crossing his legs at the ankle like both his sisters do! So funny! We will keep y'all posted on names and other developments.

Halloween 2023

 We pulled off our best Halloween!  Possibly ever!  Jake had a vision and it came true beautifully.  He even had the cutest song he sang.  I loved our last Halloween in our Hurst home.  

sometimes life may get you down

but then you remember how wonderful you husband is and it makes it all ok. Jake surprised me by ordering these gorgeous handmade pearl earrings from TINY STORM for me for Christmas and they were waiting for us with all our mail when we arrived back home after vacation. He got down on one knee and presented me with these earrings and it brought tears to my eyes. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful, hardworking, and loving husband who is always there to take care of me and love me when I am having a rough time. Thank you Jacob!
