Just a group of gals
I love getting together with friends...especially over dinner! Can you guess the restaurant where we are pictured?

Day 63
We spent all day Tuesday at Stone Mountain Park. We love this place! If you have never been, you should surely go. We highly recommend it - the staff are courteous and friendly and the service is superb. Our kids won't stop talking about the Sky Hike and Yogi Bear Experience.

She's so serious about her putts.
I was amazed that he went all the way to the top!

Day 56 - VBS begins!
Vacation Bible School started today and we had over 60 children in attendance (that's HUGE for our small church)! We wrote our own curriculum based around five songs of the Seeds Family Worship album entitled PURPOSE. The children are singing Scripture as they do the hand motions/signs for the words. As we ran a few errands this afternoon, I listened to Abigail sing today's song loudly from her seat. My heart leaped to hear her sing such glorious promises!
Day 55
After picking up the kids from their grandmother's house, we played at home until time to go back to church for small group. I bought a pool for the kids to play in on the back porch on these hot Georgia summer days but I let them keep it indoors so they can invent various games in it when it's more convenient.

Day 53-54
Friday and Saturday...
All three children spent Friday and Saturday nights at their grandmother's house 2.5 hours down south. Mitch and I slept late, went out to eat lunch, shopped for essentials, saw a matinee, cooked a simple dinner, and worshiped at church....then we drove to pick up the kids.
That's all!

Day 52
Today was a day of cooking FREEZER meals - something I've always wanted to do but just never got around to doing. Alone with Jennie, we doubled up our recipes and completed four delicious dinners! We already have it on the calendar for our next cooking day and plan on making more meals the next go 'round, but we were quite proud of our accomplishment and the "breathing room" it will give.
Here's what we made:
Pepperoni Pasta Bake (with added hamburger 1/2 lb)
Our boys staying entertained while their mothers cook.

Day 50
Our cousin came over to play most of the day.
All of our toys got a good workout!
The Marble Run, Legos, Nerf gun, and the marble tilt game Labyrinthspel.
Sidewalk chalk is always fun but especially crafty when it's dipped in water to give the drawing a deeper color effect...of course, when it's 95 degrees outside, this activity doesn't last long.

Day 47 - birthday party!
Three days after her fourth birthday, our extended family and friends got together to celebrate Abigail's special occasion. It was a sweet, sweet time.
She's been asking for a bike since Christmas. Thanks to one of her grandparents, she finally got one. If it wasn't so wet outside from the rain, and time would allow, she would be outside pedaling at super speed all the day long. See that basket? She wants to put her dolls and water bottle in it so she can take them for a ride!
The little girls dressed up as various princess / characters and the adults smiled while watching them flit and float around the room playing musical chairs.
Abigail always loves spending time with these sisters, Anna and Megan. They seek her out and even pursue her by taking her out alone for ice cream and having Abigail over to their house to play. She invited the sisters to her party and they were delighted to come! I'm thankful that God is using these gals as godly examples of older women in love with Jesus.
You can never take too many pictures of family!
