Content


I would some up life in one word "content". Annabelle is 3. This is such a fun stage. I love that there are so many opportunities for her. I can take her to things and drop her off. Maybe ballet classes in the fall. And chatty, she is able to carry on a conversation at lunch with high school boys. Thanked Daddy for taking her to the mall last night. Elliana, 2 months has such a fun smile, loves to coo and talk. She even talked to Luke on the phone when he was gone. She is content to sleep in her car seat while we run around town. She is transitioning to the crib in the girls room. Luke is good, ministry this summer has been humbling in an amazing way. Luke feeling a little old and uncool going into camp, leaving the week being referred to as their "buddy" or a best friend. At the same time intorducing them to their newest friend, Jesus. And I have had a lull in life as I have embraced the oppurtunity to slow down while nursing. God has blessed me with some wonderful prayer time.
