Summer is our busy time of the year. This year we've already completed a week of M-fuge, VBS, World Changers, youth musical, swim lessons, a pastor's conference for Jay and beach vacation! We have one more week with a youth choir trip, and then we'll be finished with summer trips. Whew! The kids and I got to go on a few trips with Jay this year, which was a lot of fun. We went to VA to the pastor's conference and got to visit grandparents while we were there. We also get to go with the church bus driver on the youth choir trip next week, to Panama City, FL! While the summers are always busy, they are one of our favorite times of the year. WE LOVE VBS! This year "Outback Jay" wrestled with an alligator, got attacked by a giant spider, fought off a huge snake, and got about a hundred cream pies tossed in his face by the kids. Samuel and Abigail learned all of the Boomerang Express songs, and continue to sing them today. It is a joy to see them praising our Father in heaven! This summer we also planted a garden. We've enjoyed fresh green bean, summer squash, zucchini, okra, cucumbers, peppers and are beginning to see tomatoes turn red. Samuel also planted a "giant flower" and Abigail planted marigolds. We've enjoyed watching our kids learn how God provides for His children. Thanks for hanging in there with me as I learn how to add pictures and label them....

Joining the madness!

We are joining the world of bloggers! We hope our family and friends, both far and near, will be able to share in some adventures with our family.
Our "babies" are growing so fast! Samuel is 4 1/2 and Abigail will be 3 next month! Please keep all comments on Jay and my ages to yourself!
And for those who know and love Feia... she is alive and well. :)
Our desire is to know and grow in our Lord Jesus Christ, and hopefully our lives are evidence of this.
