1st and 10
This weekend was filled with 1st's and 10's.
So Ellie Turned the Big 10 on Monday. The official Tweener. Double Digit Midgit. 1/2 of 20. Yeah, she is growing up so fast, and becoming such a spactacular person. I can't even tell you how lucky I am to have a kid like this. She will always be my little girl. But yesterday, she showed me that she is growing into an outstanding young lady.
For the record, I really tried hard not to cry all day :-) I made it until 10:30pm when I got to thinking how fast they grow, how precious our time together is, and how I don't want to miss a thing....
So, for her Birthday she got a DSi from mom, a silly band necklace from Sage, some Monster High stuff and a really cool Kite from Louv, and a new flatscreen TV with DVD and clothes from Nana.
Today Ellie is 10 years, 1 day, and 4.5 hours old. I am thankful for every minute. I <3 U Ellie!
Now.....for the 1st's.....
I am stuck holding down the fort till Saturday, so I got up early as God himself to start Sage's morning treatments before school (normally Louv's job to give me and extra 1.5 hours of sleep). So, we get finished, I am still half sleeping, but Sage is up and ready to sieze the day. .....Ok.......
So, Sage...since we have 15 mins extra time today, how would you like to see the sunrise?
So, Sage basically skipped, and I basically muddled across the street and headed for the beach, still in the twillight. Sage thought this was the coolest thing. Me being the anti-morning person was thinking how this wasn't cool at all.
We get there about 3 minutes before the first peek of dawn.
Sunrise with Sage......
Sage was right, this was VERY cool indeed.
This morning's first peek of happiness....
Sage actually stood still, watching the sun come up in awe of what he was seeing.....
The first thing he said..." where did the sun come from mommy?" ..."From the other side of the world buddy"...."Wow, that's a long way to come just for today." ...Yes, it is, but it's worth it, don't you think?"
And, that fast he was off playing in the sand.
And it was nothing short of spectacular.
So Sage, the genius that he is, wanted to touch the sun. OK Mommy, that was REALLY cool!
And he played in the tropical rays of the sunrise..... Sand in his toes, and salt water in his heart.
Today is a really good day, and I am so happy <3
Thanks Mom...I love you.
And mom tried not to cry...again.
And so you see. This weekend has been filled with 1st and 10's and lots and lots of happiness. I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to enjoy these days with the best souls on earth. I used to think my life was star-crossed. Now I realize that all good things do come around eventually,

"sunset?" he asked...
"no buddy, the sunRISE"
"sun...RISE...?" he asked....
"OK Mommy, let's GO!"
....and out the door he went before I could even argue with him to come back in until I had brushed my teeth.So, Sage basically skipped, and I basically muddled across the street and headed for the beach, still in the twillight.

My New Adventure
"The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea."
And so it is.
The beginning of a new chapter, and one that I don't want to miss a moment of.
Sea life.
The name of our new beach house: SALT WATER KURE
My adventure.
A journey that has one ultimate destination. The Ocean.
A life that has one ultimate purpose. True Love.
A soul that has one ultimate goal. Pure Happiness.
My Family.
We Strive for Greatness, every day presents a chance that should not be missed.
We Live to Breathe the salt air, bask in the sun, and worship the tides.
We Love with goodness in our hearts and truth on our lips.
It's official. My family and I are now permanent residents of a little barrier island on the south end of coastal North Carolina. Appropriately called "Kure Beach on Pleasure Island". You can say that again. I'm pretty sure it's a sign. Literally :-) The snake bit me, if it was a bat, it would have hit me in the head, Dude....DUDE!....Ok, Ok, Ok. I get it. Time to move, move on, and move East. We worked really hard for 4 years to get here. With a lot of planning, even more hope, and a sprinkle of luck...we are now living the dream, and appreciating every easy breath <3
There are so many of you who Love Sage, follow every lung infection, bump, bruise, and play date....and Love Ellie with every TaeKwonDo belt, competition trophy, Girl Scout badge, and sleepover party.....Life is going by so fast, and I don't want to miss a THING,
Ta-Da! Blog inception and creation <3
I will post for every infection, broken bone, clinic trip, lab outcome, belt ranking, tournament, camping adventure, and most all the good stuff life throws our way. So enjoy this little slice of life from my world.....
Kure Beach Pier, Our Night Out
Just couldn't wait.
Yes, swimmin' with their clothes on ~~~~~~
Enjoying every minute.
Yup. Livin the good life.
XOXO
