Dear October

October has brought many challenges to our family. Many good times with a number of really bad times. I don't feel confortable with sharing many specifics in a space that can be seen by people outside of my immediate family so I will share one good day with you. 

This day we had a really sweet day as a family of four. I will forever treasure this day since it marked a really significant day in my marriage and in our parenthood. I remember most the time we just sat on the beach and watched David pile himself under the sand as well as chasing the seagulls, after someone *papa* made the terrible mistake of feeding one... Olivia being scared of the sand at first and then feeling it and calming down... Jesus hugging me and kissing me and talking to me and just being there.
