I think I may qualify for the worst BLOG poster ever! We had a major technology upgrade around here and it has taken awhile to sync all new phones, computers, and various other digital equipment! Part of me needed the break, part of me missed it, and FACEBOOK seems to be so much quicker! And Instagram- you have to LOVE that! One day I will do the link-up (I think!)
Leaving Camp- going Home!
It has been a whirl-wind of a summer around here! We would not trade one second of all the fun and laughter that has been going either! It's so funny to watch your kids just "play"! Not with toys, or phones, or iPads, but just stuff around the yard, or in the garage, or on the swing set!
We have had some really HOT days around here, and lately LOTS of rain! I think my grass if finally happy! My bunny, not so much, but my gardens finally look well hydrated. The girls have discovered tanning, so it's funny to listen to them time the right time to lay out!
We are looking forward to FALL and some COOL air! We were in Lowe's the other day and there were already fall decorations (pumpkins and such) out. It's amazing how much consumerism goes into each new season. It looks like we might have a heavy hurricane season for the months of August and September. We can still use the rain. I think our aquifer is still 3 or 4 feet below where it needs to be.
It's a little sad that the summer is ending, but with that brings some big changes for us- Jap will be a Senior this year! AMAZING.. I remember what seems like yesterday I was so nervous as I dropped him off at Wolfson his first day of high school. That time has flown by and he has flourished! We are so excited about his Senior Year! Football is in full swing, so his days are consumed with work, practice, eating, and sleeping!
Macey and Briley are already back at dance! Our schedule is a little better this year with a few more late starts! They like the routine and I think are glad to be back as well. The true test will come when they start school in 2 weeks!
Jackson is going to Kindergarten with me this year. He is super excited and so smart! It amazes me with how much he knows. His mind is just this big sponge. He is a great conversationalist too! Some of the things he says to me make me literally crack up. Today he told me that we would have to be nice guys if we wanted dinosaur sundaes after church Sunday!
I read some really great books this summer. I would strongly suggest them for some reflective and thoughtful reading:
The Resolution for Women, P. Shirer
bringing up Boys, Dr. James Dobson
Battlefield of the Mind, Joyce Meyer
Forgotten God, Francis Chan
One Thousand Gifts, Ann Voskamp
Parenting Collection, Dr. James Dobson
It's great to read something and think- Wow! You are doing what's right!
We had some great accomplishments this summer- we helped a few extra kids, we learned a little more about being missionaries, and we saw what it means to love your family!
