Georgia on my mind

We did it, all 12 of us (from Mommy's side) traveled to GA, Katie and Owen! We flew and drove converging upon the mountain town of Blue Ridge GA. Below are the photos, the memories of our holiday. Most are in black and white-the ones that seemed to speak simply and the colored ones added to the story we all wrote as we were there... K & O, it was filled of fun, food, driving :), a few popped tires, mountain views, waterfalls, early birthday celebrations, cartoons, the river, legos and baby holding, good morning hugs and good night kisses, games, chatting...  Though we may not do GA again, we'd certainly do another holiday together!
Until then, Cheers (as Uncle Tommy would say) and we LOVE you all!

*Thanks "out-laws" for cleaning up dinner!

*Sweet girl, you are turning into quite the helper!

*I Heart these expressions!

*There sometime super special about celebrating your birthday (early) with your cousin! 

Pie for Owen and Paw Patrol cupcakes for Paxton. :)  Thanks Grandpa & Mimi.

Oh Elijah, you are certainly full of personality!

Thanks, Mom & Dad for giving us all a spot, for a week, in GA.  Thanks for being generous with your time, lives, funds...  Thanks for loving all 10 of us well! 

Love you both

:)

The Facial Expressions of Cousin P

Celebrating Independence

The 4th of July marks the middle of summer.  Sweating, fireworks, yummy foods, friends, celebrating Independence are all wonderful things, sweet kiddos.  

K and O (CB and E too), we love your expressions in these photos.  Pure joy, pure excitement, pure amazement, and we hope these feelings never leave your hearts. 

in baseball

While watching baseball bloopers and home plate collisions...we heard this said with attitude by you, our eight year old, Katie..."I'd tell that dude, that it's down right mean. I know you want to win the game, but it's more important to love them then hurt them!"  :D

Creating

a fairy house

Question

Owen-Can you eat clouds?

Katie-No, you can't eat clouds, they are made of cotton.

Faithful

He is faithful. I know this for many reasons, but as I watched the sun rise this morning I was reminded of His love for us. He never fails. I never know what today holds and yet that is what I have been given to walk in...so today I hold fast to the one that created me, I seek to remember His faithfulness to provide, protect, bless, refine and love. I desire to walk in His strength and power. I want to see His peace, patience and love invade my heart. Today, heart, look up, press on and seek the one who holds the sun, causing it to faithfully rise each day for thousands of years-remember He is faithful.
