Labor Day Weekend

This weekend has been a rather unusual one since Nate has been working the big holiday down at Sand Lake playing deputy! He's been on night shift from 8pm-8am! No fun, poor Nate! He came home on Saturday completely exhausted and I knew it wouldn't be easy to keep the kids quiet enough to let poor daddy sleep! So we headed down to Lincoln City and did a little shopping and played at the beach. Nate also worked last night the same shift. I'm very grateful after this weekend that Nate has a regular job which allows us to see more of him! It's been hard to be 'single mom' this weekend, but we look forward to daddy having Monday off and hope we can find something fun to do on a very special birthday!! That's right our little sweetie Mara turns two!! I can hardly believe it! I've put together a little slide show of memories from the past two years of Mara's little life! She just gets more beautiful and fun everyday! We are so grateful to have her in our family! She just brings us so much joy and happiness!
