Well Summer is flying by so fast... we keep meaning to update but it has been so busy. It has also been a wonderful summer. I am constantly asked by so many... "SO, how's the family?" or "How are your children?" For so long there has been so much to that answer that it would require a sit down session... Well, the truth is we are all great! I mean it. Amanda and I catch ourselves at times simply looking over our shoulder in anticipation - but our God is so good. We are all well and enjoying life each day to the fullest.
As you can see in the picture above, Catherine is making herself quite at home. Sarah Elizabeth and Stuart cannot keep their hands off of her - literally... which is a source of friction especially when she needs a nap. But, (above) Stuart made some room to watch cartoons early one morning. Catherine is growing so fast and occasionally surprises us with a good night sleep. Her smiles light up the room... and unlike our two oldest.. she tends to share more of them with mom.
We just returned from a short visit to the beach with some of our good friends. This is the second straight year we have made this trip and it is becoming the highlight of each summer. We are already counting the days until next years trip. It really makes us appreciate just how blessed we are to be surrounded by wonderful friends we consider family.
More to come!
