If you asked me what water polo was as a high school senior, I wouldn’t have had the slightest clue. Forward to my freshman year of college, and I lived next door to the boy’s water polo building. These boys became my friends through college and their connection is how I met Shane. He played as a collegiate as well as reffing and plays to this day. We are continuing the experience with Mason.
:: FAMILY TIME :: I’ve been having a hard time accepting how much time my family spends away from each other… whether it’s Husby at work for days at a time at the fire station, or just the kids weekly schedule with school and other activities. As much as I try to soak up quality time with my family during the week, it never seems like we get enough. Our schedule seems consumed by the runaround schedule of drop-offs, pick-ups, homework, and other obligations…. as I guess it would with four children.
So… just over a week ago, Husby and I decided to forget about the never ending to-do list at home and take our two youngest to the beach while our older boys were at school. It seemed horribly wrong to leave Ryan and Seth out of the fun…. but I reminded myself that they had this alone time with us when they were little, too {right?}! We packed up a picnic lunch and headed to one of our favorite secluded spots in Laguna Beach….
