Life our Way

No pictures this post but that is in no way a reflection of how busy it has been around here.  A blur pretty much.  So let's see...

Grace- well she has been a trooper going with the flow of life as we know it!

Olivia- hit the one month mark of her surgery and her recovery is going so well.  She has been such a trooper and has far exceeded our expectations in her recovery.  Her restrictions are gradually being lifted and she can now take a bath, swim and begin to be a little more active but not back to normal just yet.  Her wound is healing so well and we haven't had any real complications which has been such a blessing. God is so faithful.

Logan-this boy has been our traveler this month.  He went to Daufuskie Island, SC for 10 days with his cousin Mason and then was home a week and then off to Myrtle Beach, SC for 7 days with one of his good friends. It was a great way to end his baseball season and a blessing since with baseball and Olivia's restrictions we wont' make it to the beach this year.  We are bummed about that but such is life and we will hopefully make up for it next year.

Christian-he has also been our traveler. We let him do a travel team this year that involved more travel then we typically do.  He has had some local tournaments around the area this summer but he also has done East Cobb in Georgia, Asheville, NC, Wake Forest, NC and Charleston, SC.  They didn't do as well as they had hoped but he had a lot of fun.  Guy and Christian did most of these alone, but we did go as a family to Charleston and tied in a little fun. Incuding an afternoon at the beach. He is now done with ball for the season too. Oh and Christian got his driving permit this month too!

Jonathon-well me and Jonathon have been busy doing college visits this summer.  He thinks he wants to stay close to home and do a smaller college.  I think this is great too because it gives him a chance to live on his own and have some independence but not be too far away.  It also gives him some more attention and will actually be a person not a number which we think will help him be more sucessful.  Jonathon is not real extraverted well at least til he gets to know you so getting connected won't be so overwhelming either.  So right now his first choice is Wingate which is about an hour away and about 2500 students.  He is wanting to major in Criminal Justice and eventually work for the FBI.  We have also had senior pictures.  I didn't even think about those being done summer before senior year but that is how it works.  Can't wait to have those back over the next month or so and will post them.  I am so lucky to be his mom and will be a wreck when he graduates.  Just not sure where all the years went.  He is m y first born and has a special place in my heart for sure.

So life has been busy as you can see.  Work is at a very busy time too with our recent merger and so that has me hoping and the passion of my heart the ministry I am part of Oaks of Righteousness, http://www.oaksofrigtheousness.info/  is 7 weeks away from our second women's retreat we are putting on and in full gear preparing for that.  If intereseted we would love to have you.  You can sign up directly at the website.  Check us out and bring a friend.  We are down to 11 spots remaining.
