Athan, Kaleigh, and Aiden
What a beautiful way to start the summer!!! We began our first official week of the summer with a visit from dear Tennessee friends, the Grants. They brought several other families with them and we felt loved by them as a family, a church, and a community. They were genuine, fun, and productive. Painting classrooms, mulching, removing staples:), dancing at Mulate's.....good times!
Cheers!
The summer continued by having fun play dates with friends. So thankful for friends (old and new) this summer that we could spend time with where the #1 priority was RELAXATION!
Gulf Shores was most certainly a highlight. Beach, pool, nightly crab hunting, monopoly everyday (obnoxious), water park (earning man cards!), para sailing, and (for me, since this is my blog:) God time on the porch every morning with a beach front view-oh yea! It was awesome QUALITY family time! And memories made that will live on!
Nelson and Daspit boys
It was such a joy for me to hear the boys sing their hearts out at VBS. God used them to speak to me on how REMARKABLE He is and that nothing is to difficult for Him! Its always nice to be reminded of that. Its also nice to watch the kids genuinely enjoy the week. Raising "preacher kids", you pray that they will Have a faith in God, and pray that its genuine, that they own it and that its not been forced on them.
No pics of the Baton Rouge trip but I must mention it because it is definitely Athan's favorite part of the summer. Athan taking a road trip mid-week to go to an Astro's game in Houston, eating lots of junk food, Aiden swimming every day and watching all three Ice Age movies....'Foster camp' rocks!.....even mom and dad think it rocks, we enjoyed 'mom and dad all alone camp' :)
Thank you Foster Family!
Now we are trying to face the reality that we HAVE to go back to school (sigh). I guess its true, we have to work hard to play hard. Work, here we come!
