(You will notice I am just going to pretend that I am not extremely behind in blogging and just act natural about the whole thing.)
I absolutely love the beach. It is my most favorite place on the planet. No other place feels so peaceful and so invigorating. I love the wind, the sand, the salt, the smell, the water, I could go on and on.
Years ago when we took Jack to the beach for the first time he was afraid of sharks and wouldn’t go near the water. Not this time. HE LOVED the water. His favorite thing was to run away from the waves yelling “Retreat, Retreat!!”
All the kids, yes, even Nora, were taken out into the big waves with Nona. That is her signature move- even from when I was little. She takes you out and holds you over her head when the waves come.
Certainly it was my mom who fostered my love of wave jumping. We even left my dad on the beach for a good hour watching all three kids while my mom and I jumped some wonderfully huge waves.

Diahan! You are the craziest wave jumper I know! Remember when we were in Irving CA for that conference and I surfaced from an especially brutal wave to see you lying face down in about a foot of water? You jumped right up and ran back out there!
D! So good to see a bit about your family! Love you, miss you, how are you?
Sooo much fun. I must take my kids to the beach. They've only been once but they loved it.
Oh, I am so excited for more blog posts! Thank you for sharing!
Sophia saw the pictures of Jack and asked if she could be best friends with him.
