Special visit...

A lot has been going on this past week.

Thanks to our wonderful Granddaddy and Karen (and Austin) watching our kiddos, Lee and I got to go to Chicago to visit our Mission USA missionaries and new brothers and sisters in Christ at "the bridge". It was such a special trip and chance for me, as a Mommy who is usually always doing Mommy things, to get a chance to bond with some of my favorite people in the world who went on the trip and to serve the Lord in a different way.

Then we came home to an Andrew Peterson concert benefitting Emily and Graham's upcoming adoption right here at our own church! As if that weren't enough, we got to hang out the next day with Patty, Patrick and their crew. We went to a splash park in K-town, here are a few pics of that and some other random summer moments.

Jack's Favorite Game

Jack loves hiding in the laundry room and then reappearing to everyone's delight... especially his own.

He did it!!!

You all know that Jack recently had the surgery so many babies have where tubes were put in his ears. Our doctor said that before this, Jack basically couldn't hear at all, which really affected his balance. Well, our little guy has finally found his legs this week and simply took off yesterday, taking real, unassisted steps. Way to go, brother!

Here is a song Lee wrote for our precious Anna:

He is risen indeed!!

Matt. 28:5-7

"The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. ⁶He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.⁷Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him."

Praise you Lord, for that!!

Here are some shots from our family Easter celebration over @ Kurt and Jodie's.

Spring Break!

Yay! This week we have our sweet Anna home for spring break. The slow pace of just hanging out together has been awesome. Today we went to the Knoxville Zoo, here's a couple of shots from our afternoon :)
