Last week we got together and did a beach outing. So they would have a few pictures to remember their time in sunny California. Sarah and Josh just roll with the punches and don't let things get them down for long. You would not be able to tell in these pictures that that they had been pushing themselves to the limit... packing up boxes, selling their house, selling a car, saying goodbye to friends, all while watching 2 children and not sleeping very much. But all of that stress in tension didn't show up for a millisecond. That is remarkable!! Truly incredible!! They were able to live in the present of the moment and enjoy it for what it is worth and that really inspires me.

Josh, Sarah, Sophie & Jake you guys are a special family and I hope that our pathes cross again soon. You are in my prayers and you will be missed. I pray that God sustains you through it all and gives you immeasurable JOY*

Oh yeah--did I mention that they were doing all this and Sarah is expecting their 3rd child. She is a strong and beautiful woman. I really respect her.

At the beginning of our time together Sophie broke down in tears and said that she didn't like the camera. I am so gr8phul for the ocean and waves, she LOVED them!!! She was SO MUCH fun to watch play in the waves. :)
