Avila Beach

Last Friday we decided to drive over to Avila Beach for the day.  We really didn't get a family vacation this Summer or last Summer.  We were missing the beach. I guess our year at Hume was kind of like a year-long vacation, so don't feel too sorry for us.  Nonetheless, we wanted a day at the beach before everyone started school.  We had such a delightful time as a family!  Marshall & I are having so much with our boys.  They're getting so big & so caring for them is not nearly as hard as it used to be!  Honestly, now they serve us a lot.  It's been such a great time lately just enjoying the people that they are becoming!  To those of you who still have real little ones, just know that the training you do now DOES PAY OFF!! 

We had a blast together........some more memories to add to our mental files.  It was good.  Thank you, Lord, for my family!!

Dear Friends & Family,

Thank you for all the presents!  I used the money that you all gave me to buy Prince Caspian action figures from Target.  I love playing with them.  I've wanted them for a long time, but its a good thing that I waited until now to buy them because  I ended up getting them on sale which saved me a lot of money.  I still have $75.43  leftover!

Hunter, Pop, & Ma, Uncle Ryan & Aunt Karle, Rod's, and Mom, Dad, Jackson, Jonah, & Ezekiel, thank you for going out to breakfast with me too!  That was fun.  

Sara, thank you for remembering to bring me a birthday present!  I was glad that you remembered to bring it, and I was glad that it was money.

Hall Family, THANK YOU very, very much for the streamers, and the sign, and the cake, and the toys, and the movie.  That made me so happy.  I really liked it all, and I'm never going to forget it.  You are so nice to me!  It was a great birthday at Hume Lake!

I love all of my friends and family.  You are special to me.  

Love, Ethan Joseph Hamm
