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!

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!

We celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary right before we left town.  This was a late dinner celebration.

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

New shirt Gregg bought me

"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!

Hilton Head 2019

We were blessed once again to have my friend, Shannan Blanchard, come to Hilton Head to take our family pictures.  This year, our cousin, Shelly and her two kids, Luke and Madelyn, joined us.  Here are many of the photos Shannan took.  She always captures us all so well!

Well, I think I'll end there. If you can imagine, there were actually more, but that's most of them.  We'll treasure these photos and the memories.  I'll post about our actual trip in the next post.
