Virginia or Bust

I am from the beautiful state of Virginia. Every time I drive through the state, I am reminded of how beautiful it is. The Mountains of Virginia are hard to beat, but then there are the beaches. The Atlantic Ocean has it's brown sand but as you cross the bay the smell conjures up many great memories. I grew up only about a mile from the beach. Living about 12 hours away from my family has always been really difficult and on this particular Fathers Day we will make it to see my father.

Just 22 weeks ago we added a new little addition, Elijah Ryken, for him to see again. Children are such a blessing and I hope, I have been a blessing to my dad. We had to take the long trip in two days for our own sanity, and the comfort of the baby. It is so funny how babies always do something new when you go out of town. In the video he is sitting up alone and biting his socks. We were so excited to see him bending down and back up again all by himself. Well, soon he will be off to college so I better keep the camera rolling. He will be grown before I know it.
