An Incredible Milestone for Brady

It has been one of the most beautiful days 🥺 My heart is full and happy and hopeful and light. Here is a quick breakdown for you to share with us 💜 

We had some terribly cute additions to our breakfast, where we made roughly 30 s’mores and very much enjoyed ourselves! 

We hit the beach early and enjoyed a peaceful, overcast morning of lake time! I have zero pictures to prove it, but it was so beautiful and so calm. 

We lunched and headed right back to the beach. It was hotter and busier but still so incredibly lovely. It wasn’t long before Brady took a plunge that he’s been debating for a while. It was time to get that man on a paddle board. 

With our friend Stacy’s help, we got the boat stable, Brady out onto the dock, down the ladder, and onto the board so seamlessly. He was an INCREDIBLY happy man. 

I felt very overcome with emotion coming off the dock, and lo and behold, there were a few other friends sitting on their beach chairs, working to gather their composure as well. It is SO incredible to be SO loved and cared for here. I could rave about the community here all day long. But for today, I will just say that I am truly touched. 

When it was time for Brady to be done, someone we don’t know well who is just visiting for the week overheard and offered to come be our third person. We accepted, and she steadied the board so Brady could more easily get off and onto the dock. 

The entire thing was a raving success 🥺😭 

The day wrapped up with our friends joining us for supper, and then all of us going for dessert at their site. 

It has been an incredibly lovely day. I know it will be a joy to be home tomorrow. It always is. But I am so grateful to have such a beautiful getaway here for our family. Praise God!!!
