Summer's Last Surf

I have been without my computer for a grueling two weeks!  It is all fixed and good as new so I can now get caught up on the final pictures of summer.  There are good things to blog about today and one very sad thing.  Callie's second cousin Logan passed away last week (Sept. 21st)  He was 21 months old and had been in the hospital battling leukemia for the last five months.  We are heartbroken for Matt's cousin WJ, his wife Lauren, and Logan's grandparents, Lynn and Walter, and of course, Pa.  It must be horrible to bury a child, and I imagine it is even worse when that child is a cherished grandchild and a great-grand-baby as Logan was.  We rejoice in the fact that Logan is with the Lord and that his great-grandmother, Ann, is holding him close.  But we are weeping for the grieving, empty arms of family members that are so dear to us.   Please pray for the Lastovica family in the coming weeks and months.

Now for the photo update for the month of September.  Most of the pics are from a visit by Nana and Papa and a trip with them to Sandbridge for the day.  It was fun to enjoy the ocean one last time.  Now it is time to start on those fall memories and football pictures.

 Callie got bitten by a mosquito on her eyelid.  She was swollen like this for a full two days.  The doctor said it was nothing to be worried about and that it is just an allergic reaction to them that she will eventually outgrow.

 Callie continued her attempts to catch a sea-gull...

 Someone on a nearby blanket brought their two adorable Boston Terriers.  Callie loved visiting them and getting puppy kisses

 My little sand crab!

 

It was a cool day and that water was COLD!  But she didn't care!

Below is a video of Callie running on the beach.  She would run right to the end without looking back if we let her.  She really thinks she owns the world!
