Well, I can't believe I haven't written since May 9th. It has gone by so quickly.
We continue to be amazed at what God is teaching us as we diligently seek Him. His promises give us hope, comfort, and guidance.
Isaiah 26:3 ~ "You keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You; because he trusts in You."
We enjoyed a visit from Wynna and took a trip up there to stay with Wynna and Papa for a few days. We had a "staycation" here too. We slowed way down on Zeke's schooling, although, I am still trying to continue with some activities. We will begin a homeschool program called, "Classical Conversations" next year. Their motto is "To know God and make Him known." It will meet at our church once/week and I will continue to teach him at home the other 4 days.

I don't know how we managed it, but we didn't get any pictures with Wynna when she was visiting. We did take a few of the kids.
While she was here, Gregg and I went away for a night to a little resort in Cordele, GA to celebrate our anniversary (a week early).

My perfect birthday gift was to spend the day together as a family. I am grateful!
Later that week, Gregg had to work in Atlanta, so we headed up there too. It was great to see the cousins for an evening and spend some quality time with Wynna and Papa. We are so blessed!

Aunt Debbie made some beautiful homemade gifts. She personalized the saddle bags on the horse with the kids' names and made some beautiful bedding for Adalynn. She also sent some extra stuffed animals. As you'll see below, Zeke decided they wanted to watch Veggie Tales with him!

Here are a few more from church last week. Notice Zeke trying to shoo the gnats in the collage!
Happy Father's Day!
Gregg has been working extremely hard (long hours included), so I don't have many pictures of him. Today is Father's Day and he is sleeping after working all night. I am so incredibly thankful that God chose Gregg to be my husband and father to our children. He was a natural from the start. As I watch him take time to slow down and teach them, do silly voices, hug and hold, and be a model of what it means to love and serve Christ, my heart overflows with gratitude.
1 Corinthians 16:13 ~ "Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong."
He is strong, faithful, brave, and watchful. His name is actually derived from the Greek word, Grēgorios meaning, "watchful, alert." How neat that God led him to his career which involves exactly that..watching while alert! But I see it in the way he cares for our family too. His wisdom is such a gift to us and we thank God for Gregg for so many reasons!
