We just watched Transformers for the first time. I did not think I would like it but it was a good movie. We have hesitated in letting the boys see it. It seems as if most of our friends have allowed their kids to see it and I am sure in the boys eyes we were the last parents on the whole entire earth that had not allowed their kids to see this movie. We seem to be extremely conservative. Maybe too much but we would rather be cautious than expose them to things they don't need to be exposed to at their ages.
I thought one of the scenes was completely inappropriate for the boys. Someone who had seen the movie said that there was a scene that was like "a second" long about masturbation. Hello!!! A second? I think they say the word 3 or 4 times and dwell on it for at least 30 seconds. I can only hope that it went over their heads and that they have no clue what that is. My guilt has set in. Other than that scene and a few choice words the movie was action packed and entertaining. The kids loved it and I am not going to grill them to see if they even know what masturbation is. Ignorance might be bliss in this case! (Gary agrees).
The boys are in the backyard playing baseball and they have to get into the shower in a minute to get ready for bed. 7:30 PM is a beautiful time of the day. It is alone time for Gary and I. We only have a few more weeks of it before school is out and bedtimes change.
Dr. Nina Bhatt saw Zach today. She is an orthodontist whose son plays in our little league (I told you all that yesterday but I am not banking on all of you having read the blog yesterday so I will repeat myself). She was so great with Zach and he of course loves her. Zach will not be getting braces until he has more permanent teeth. YEAH!! 1 phase and it will be done! Thank you Nina for taking good care of us. If anyone needs an ortho she should be your ortho! She is right next to Mission Viejo High School and she will treat you like she would treat her own children!
After we drop the kids off at school we are going to head up to Dr. Barth's office to find out the results of the scans. Pray for peace and rest for us tonight. We need a little bit of both. Hopefully we will come home to blog excellent news.
Enough said. Short and sweet tonight unlike last night.
Have a great evening!
Love,

A Look inside our family......
If any of you have not had the chance to walk the grounds of the Montage in Laguna Beach you are really missing something amazing!!!
I am at the Montage with Zach and my Dad and I am standing on the beautiful rock that jets out from the middle of the cove and it is the most amazing morning! The air is so warm and the breeze is gently blowing.
I look down to see the reef and the beautiful colors of the seaweed garden that sway with the tide. In such a small place there are so many amazing things about creation that just make me stop to remember to thank God for all he has entrusted to us!
This very moment makes me feel so blessed to have so many blessings! So many family members and friends who surround us and love us and are ready to go on this new journey with us.
As I am thinking my pride gets a hold of me for a moment and I tell myself that I can do this on my own. My thought is that I don't want to have to have help and put people in this position!
Then, as quickly as that thought fills my pride-filled head another one enters. This time, I begin to realize that there is no way we can do this on our own. First and foremost, our same Father who has created this amazing place that I get to spend so much time at is the same one who has blessed us with amazing family and friends who want to care for us.
There are simply no words to express my gratitude and love to everyone who surrounds us and is a part of our life - big or small!
Please take some time and get down to the Montage. Go with your spouse, a friend, your kids! When you are there take in the beauty that surrounds you and take a deep breath and thank God for everything you have and the fact that HIS spirit lives in all of us! What a privilege it is that we are all on this journey together!
I am not ready to leave my rock because the morning is the best part of my day and this day is looking amazing and I want to stay right here feeling exactly how I do right now! Zach is coming out of the water and he really wants to head down to Strands to walk on beach! Who am I to argue? What a day the Lord has made! I am certainly going to be glad and rejoice in it!!
