Christmas in Florida would not be complete without spending time at the beach.
After the dreary overcast weather across the pond, the sunny, blue skies were a piece of heaven.
It was amazing to be back on SANDY beaches, feeling the warm breezes of the Gulf and experiencing Lillian's first waves, just as I had taken Madison when she was 8 months old.
We ended our beach visit by pausing to create our footprints in the sand- a favorite thing of mine that Rob grudgingly accommodates.
This time as I admired our individual and unique imprints it gave me pause to reflect on how many people in England have left a "footprint" in our life and memories. Oh the blessings we received these past 6 months- some expected and some not. We were truly lucky to have the experiences and adventures that we had and to have so many wonderful people to share in our journey.
