This is our modern day baby book! It is our prayer that years from now, Zeke and Adalynn will look back at the details of this blog and understand just how much we looked forward to meeting them and love them!

July 2019

Fourth of July

We honestly don't generally do much to celebrate the 4th, but we did get dressed up in our red, white, and blue!  We enjoyed a swim in our pool too!



Happy to be swimming


Visit to Johns Creek

We had several appointments scheduled in Johns Creek in July, so we headed up for a visit.  We enjoyed spending time with family and friends.  The kids are already asking me when we get to visit again!
Riding is tiring

Back home in Americus

A brief moment outside in this extremely hot south Georgia weather

Our friend, Jen, refinished this antique desk for Zeke for school this year. It has been wonderful

We captured our house at sunset one evening.
That's all for now.  August has been extremely busy, so look for that post in a couple of weeks or so.  We continually thank God for the blessing of His love, presence, grace, healing, forgiveness, and so much more.  We pray you are blessed!

June 2019

Beginning of June

The farmer's market started back up in Americus, so we enjoyed going and exploring.  I turned 39 this year and we celebrated at home with a visit from Sheeba and Nikita.  It was a great day!

Hilton Head 2019

My parents rented the same house they rented in 2017.  This year, Shelly (my mom's cousin, Diane's, daughter) and her children joined us.  It was a fun week of swimming, bike riding, playing, eating, and resting.  We are always thankful for our Hilton Head getaways!

Rest of June

Gregg was gone most of the rest of June for work.  We enjoyed time at the library, fun with friends, and a special treat of hearing our friend, Joshua, preach.
We enjoyed the animals presentation at the library

"My life belongs to Jesus"

A friend at church got this autographed photo of Florida's head coach for Zeke

Joshua preached at Maranatha Baptist Church (President Carter's church), so we went to hear him

Daddy came home from a 2 week trip away and brought little stuffed eagles for the kids
That wraps up a fun, busy, and blessed June.  Thanks for reading!
