From Stress-Free to Stress-Full

Can anyone say, "Calgon, take me away!" I know it's an oldie, but that is how our family has felt the past few days. We spent a wonderful weekend in the town of Suwannee fishing in both fresh and salt water. Suwannee is where the Suwannee River ends and flows into the Gulf of Mexico. We had some really good family time, but the fish weren't biting. Anda got to come down for the night on Friday and we had a good visit with her. HOWEVER, Joy was on crutches from a skating accident she had and she has not been doing well with all that. Her foot has hurt, she hasn't slept well, and it has been raining every day for the past few days. I know it won't last and it is just a season right now, but boy what a season!!! We are going to hang it there and pray A LOT!!!!!!!!! We appreciate your prayers, too.

Reflecting on Family Day

We enjoyed a "stress-free" day yesterday. Didn't do much. Had no agenda. Just did whatever came up, ate when we were hungry, laughed, played, napped, and lived together! Could not have asked for more!

Couldn't Resist


Anda began packing for college yesterday. She says she will not take EVERYTHING yet!!! We'll see!!!!

She will be heading to BCF next week. Actually we are all going...we're pulling our RV over and camping out for the night...she loves it and says she will be "famous" on campus because her entire family moved her to college!!!

The Boys are Back in Town



Arvis and Aaron have returned from their adventures. Arvis got home on Thursday from his 11 day journey to the Amazon River. He hasn't really told us much about his trip yet, but we are eager to hear how they ministered to the people of Brazil. Aaron returned from Centri-kid camp on Friday. He spent the week there with his friends on their last camp as "kids" from our church. He is now officially in the Youth group and will look forward to doing all the "youth stuff" with the church.
