Evangeline's Dedication


Praying over our sweet Evangeline

Evangeline was such a ham and loved being in front of everyone. 

Evangeline's Uncle Bryan did a great job singing. 

We are so thankful for our Eva Grace.


Last Sunday on Father's Day we had the privilege of dedicating our beloved Evangeline to the Lord.  It was such a special time for Brandon & I to focus on the great responsibility (& blessing) that God has given to us.  Eva's dedication was a day of much joy as we were able to gather together with family to celebrate.  I think it was the first time since Elijah's first birthday that both sides of our family were able to be together in the same place and at the same time.  It was also the first time that Brandon & I have been able to spend Father's Day with both our Dads.  We had a wonderful time and are so very thankful.  (I was unable to load more pictures for some reason but here are a few to enjoy.)

      Thank you so much for coming! I know traveling with 2 little ones can be a challenge and we really appreciated it. It meant so much to me that y'all came.

August Reads

None Like Him: 10 Ways God is Different From Us by Jen Wilkin :  I'm quickly becoming quite the fan of Mrs. Jen Wilkin.  I've been working through her 1 Peter Bible Study this summer and I absolutely loved reading through this book on the attributes of God.  I found myself reminded of so many things and almost felt a sense of relief as I contemplated what God is like.  This book was a delight to read.  I love that there is now a book on God's attributes written especially for women.  Pure awesomeness!  I highly recommend this book for both new believers and those with years of experience.  I also think it would make a great book club book. The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian: This book is one that I have been wanting to read for years and I just never got around to it.  I am so glad that I finally took the time to read and pray through this book!  What better gift could I give my husband the past month than to spend time earnestly praying for him through a

Our First Tent Camping Experience

Earlier in June we embarked on a new adventure.  TENT CAMPING!   Two summers ago we enjoyed a wonderful time camping in a borrowed pop-up camper but this was our first experience sleeping in a tent as a family.  We loaded up our very full van and headed to Land Between the Lakes in Western Kentucky for a new adventure.  It was wonderful.   One of the neatest aspects of our trip was the fact that Nina & Poppy Steve (Brandon's parents) were able to meet up with us!  (They live a good 10 hours away from us so this was a real treat.)  We had so much spending time with them.  We stayed at  Hillman Ferry Campground  and I would definitely stay there again.   Hillman Ferry Campground has a lovely beach with an area roped off for swimming.  The kids enjoyed playing in the sand and I even took them swimming in the lake.  I have been swimming many times in a lake but I think this was my children's first real time swimming in a lake.  (The closest lake to us no longer
