Collecting

My kids are busy beavers with their "work" this week!  The girls made some sand castles, the boys caught quite a few crabs.  And me well, I just enjoyed watching everyone have a fabulous family vacation together. 

I will admit that I did feel a bit sad that Ian wasn't already home with us.  Can't wait to finally get him home where he belongs.

I thought alot about "where" I think he is going to fit in with my crew.  I wonder if he is going to gravitate more towards doing things with the boys or the girls.  I realize he will be a boy, but since he will probably be emotionally much younger than your average 8 year old, I think he might find his way easier by spending more play time with the girls.  Only time will tell.
