simply grateful

Don't you think that is a long time?  It is! This year, we celebrated my parents' 40 year anniversary.  What a milestone!  And, do you know how they wanted to celebrate?  With a family reunion at Walt Disney World! So, we all met up in Florida in June...actually on Father's Day. (Did I mention that I am behind on blogging?)  I have two fabulous sisters.  One is a Senior in college and the other is a crazy mom of 3 like me.  Her kids are 5, 3, and 21 months.  Our kids are 4, 3, and 19 months.  You can imagine the activity that ensued? lol!  We had so much fun just all being together! We did all the usual stuff. The kids loved meeting Mickey and the princesses. We even met some people from Botswana in Animal Kingdom!  They noticed Elijah's safari shirt from Botswana.  David lived there 2 1/2 years and had a lot of fun talking with them in their heart language.  It was such a sweet intera...

Ok, so it is not MY giveaway, but I am trying to spread the word because I think this is such a neat storage system.  I dig organization, even though my house rarely shows this. If you are interested in organizing any Lego mess in your house, click HERE .

Zooooom.................. That is how I feel the summer is going!  We have been having so much fun goin' and blowin' (as they say in Texas).  We started off the craziness by joining David and the youth group at summer camp. The kids loved it!  It was nice for a change of pace and White Oak Conference center, the location for the camp, was just beautiful.  The little ones and I had fun watching the students play their games and go on the ropes course. I wish I could have hung out with the students more...they are amazing... Eighties night was especially entertaining!  Isn't Miami Vice in the center HOT?! but I did have lots of quality time with these munchkins. (no laundry, cooking, dishes) The last day, our little man turned 3.  The students were so awesome in celebrating him. We are so blessed!

are growing up!!  Just how did this happen?! You might have noticed the new photo at the top.  Yeah, see, it replaced this one: Silly, I know, but in changing out the photo, it was like they grew up right before my eyes! More to come...but for now, I have a little 4 year old patiently waiting for my attention.
