Balboa Breakaway

7 very generous husbands let 6 amazing women get away for a little quiet time at my family’s beach house in Balboa, CA.  Crocheting, skeeballing (awesome new verb I just made up), beading, scrapbooking, walking, biking, running (more on that later), eating and chatting were the only things on the agenda.

Between the 7 of us, we have 4+3+5+3+3+4+2 = wait I’m totally getting a calculator out… that’s 23 kids!!!  Zoikes!

The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
