I hate leaving my family (although my dad always said, "we don't HATE anything!") and I loathe that inescapably long drive back to California and I ache at the intensified loneliness I feel for the weeks right after a long trip with those I love. And if I keep thinking about all this I might just start crying....
But what I do love about coming back home to California is this:
Our backyard...
And the way it makes our little foursome feel like a family
Playing, laughing, running in the sand (not the snow...)

I love Leah's squeals as she runs towards the waves. I love watching the delight in her dad's face as he chases, and races, and twirls her around. And I love feeling of being surrounded by the warmth of knowing that what we are building here in the sand is going to last forever. Because far away from those I love, in a place where the weather is ALWAYS nice, we are building our heaven, our future, our forever.

When we moved to Ventura county from Santa Monica I felt SOO BLESSED. We live a couple blocks from the beach. It is so wonderful to take evening walks with the kiddos. And my handsome hubby.
Love it love it love it. You are the best mom ever. Can I be your child? We hate to have to leave too, but can't compete with the beach. Love you tons,
MOM
