It was a bright and sparkly afternoon.  Rob woke up early from his day time sleep just as I was getting ready to take the kids to the beach.  We loaded up a few minutes later and just drove a mile and a half away and played at the "bridge" beach.  The Clallam Bay park's beach.  It was the perfect temperature.  A wee bit of wind, but the rocks nice and hot to lay on.

My kids were content to dig in the rocks, and soak up the rays so much that Rob and I wandered a bit a way and laid down and just totally relaxed.  I laid my head on his stomache and just enjoyed the sound of the waves and the bell in the buoy ringing.  Just absolutely perfect. ]

Eventually our children remembered we existed and we rejoined them. 

Kaylin and I took a nice long walk and picked up agates.  And Jamari and Rainee took a good long while burying my feet much to there amusement.

It was soooooooooooo nice. 

You know I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that God has a special plan for Rainee's life.

He's brought her through so much, and continues to do so. 

Today just proved it to me once more.

In a moment of dumbness, and actually a more typical Samuel moment then Rainee moment Rainee decided to play limbo with a glass lamp cord.  The glass lamp towered about eight feet above her, as she swung the cord and dipped and played with it.

I had my back turned to her, but was in the same room.

When suddenly the loud sound of glass shattering made both Zeria and I jump and turn around.  Rainee was crouching in a pile of glass screaming her head off.  The glass lamp fell down hit her on the head, and broke in a bazillion pieces.

And you know what?  She didn't get a single cut.  NOT one.

She has a good sized goose egg on her head, but no cuts, no blood.

Just amazing.

Of course three hours later Jeremiah managed to find a piece of glass and cut his toe open...I guess you can't have too many miracles in one day.

It hasn't been a truely "hot" weekend.  Although it did warm up yesterday afternoon some.  Not like last weekend which was just so gorgeous. Yesterday was just a lazy day around the house.  Rob took Zeria and Jamari on there first trail/horse back ride.  He led Jamari's pony until they got off the high-way.  The ponys had an objection to the bridge they had to cross, but did well the rest of the time. 

Today we have to head to PA to watch a video with the baton team.  If its nice we'll stop at the lake on the way home.  I sure hope it is.  Zeria still hasn't had her swim. 

I haven't run away this week...and I'm starting to feel it.
