Bye, Bye Summer!

Wow, what a fantastic summer we had this year!  I feel so blessed to have been able to go and visit as many places as we did and people that we got to see along the way!  The kids had a trip to Disney with their dad the last week in July and I got to spend a week with my best friend Dawn and her kids.  This was the first time her kids had seen Mountains or the ocean so it was so much fun for them!!! We went to VA Beach for a weekend, went through the caves and saw the Natural Bridge.  It was great and I really enjoyed spending the week with them, but missed my kiddos of course!!  Once the kids arrived home from Disney, the following week we headed to Myrtle Beach!  It was wonderful, we had a great Condo right on the beach and enjoyed every minute of it!  We will be heading back again next year for sure! Lots of other new things going on are Lola has a new "Big" girl bed and Max and Jackson decided they wanted to share a room so I moved Max from the basement upstairs to Jackson's room.  They are doing great and I feel much better having the kids all on the same floor!

Well today was Jackson's first day of school as a 1st Grader!  He had a great day and he said he really likes his teacher and has lots of friends in his class! :-) Max and Lola start preschool next week so we are getting excited about that as well!  What ever will I do without my babies at home??  Sub of course! :-) I look forward to volunteering at the preschool as needed.  I'm also focusing more and more on my photography and continuing my DivorceCare group.  That has helped me so much and brought me to such a better place in this journey.  As soon as everything is final, my plan is to hopefully help counsel others in DivorceCare as well.  It really is a wonderful ministry and I feel God has a plan for me there.

For now, I'm just enjoying every second with these beautiful children!  Life is too short and sometimes we fail to see the beauty in all that is around us!  I'm happy, our children are happy and I'm looking forward to what is in store for us!  Please continue to keep us in your prayers!  Lots of Love....xoxo
