Week Two

What a full week we have had!!! It's been beautifully warm again. We have done more fun things at our friends and I think it physically impossible for Max to stop kissing the bubba. We headed to the bike park and the massive park by the beach. We had a few quiet days at home because Max was under the weather. We went to the Mount!!!!!!! 

My friend Hayley said before we left her, "Have fun at your spiritual home."  I honestly couldn't have said it better myself. There is something that was so sacred that happened to our family at the Mount. Max was born. Sam discovered deep insightful parts of him that led him to Med school. I became a mommy. We walked on the beach every day bar none. I made incredible friends that are life long friends in New Zealand. And Sam and I became a team in a way only sacred moments can create. It was breathtakingly beautiful to drive back "home."
