Get Behind Much?

Remember Father's Day? It wasn't that long ago right? Ok, good. On Father's Day, Dylan was dedicated at our church, Wayside Chapel. It really seems like just yesterday we were standing on stage, dedicating Jenna Joy and now we stood as a family of four.





It was a wonderful day and all about THIS guy!







Dylan and Nanny. So special that Dylan got to share this day with his great-grandmother!





I've just accepted that I will not have a cute family picture until my kids are like 10 and 13. Sigh.

Praying that our little man will learn to love the Lord at an early age, become a man of integrity like his dad and grandfathers, for his future wife and that he's always good to his momma (ok- I threw that part in there!)



John, Jeb and John Dylan

The week before Father's Day was VBS at our church. I volunteered with preschool crafts so Jenna got to participate this year. I didn't know how she would feel about going to church everyday from 8:30-12 but she LOVED it!! We were both exhausted by the end of the day but it was so much fun for both of us.

Jenna even went on stage to perform her songs on Sunday. I had no clue if she would go up there and sing because during VBS she would just stand there, totally still, and watch the girls up front singing and doing the motions. She was in awe of them. But she ran on stage and sang her heart out and did all the motions. It was a moment I'll never forget.


Thank you Lord for my precious children.

Farewell to Friends

If you've read my blog at all, you've seen pics and read stories about Jenna and her BFF, Annabelle. Recently, we had to say good-bye to the Martin family because they have moved to Pittsburgh for a year. We've known for awhile that they were moving but I've been in denial about the whole thing. Kate is one of my dearest friends and her family is like family to us. It's definitely not going to be the same in SA without them. We had a little get together to say goodbye and pray for the Martin family before they left.


Me and Kate.






Me and my girl Annie B. Love her like she's my own!




Kate and Jenna. She's known Jenna since the hour she was born!


Chillin with Dylan at the party.


Jenna got to do one of her favorite things at the party- swim!

We will miss the Martin family like crazy but I have a feeling they'll be coming home for holidays and visits.
