We went to Pop and Grammie's house a few weekends ago and it was the first time the weather was warm and the lake was full and beautiful. Christopher pretty much lived outside and Sophie enjoyed sitting on the porch and riding on the boat. Brandon went to play golf with Burt on Friday and the kids and I played around the house with Grammie. On Saturday, Grammie, Sophie and I went to a baby shower for one of my best friends who is due in May. Sophie was a hit (next to Courtney, of course!) and got lots of attention. Brandon took Christopher to the circus with Burt, Melissa and the boys. He was interested for a little while, but mostly wanted to run around. Maybe he'll enjoy it more when he's older. Sunday was a beautiful day and we had a lot of fun playing outside some more. Christopher and I helped Pop build a little fence for Grammie to keep the dogs out of her flowers. He thought that was cool seeing real tools being used. Later we went for another boat ride and Christopher was very good about wearing his life jacket because it was the only way he could walk around with the dogs. He loved watching the water rush under the front of the boat and the bouey bounce along the side. The boy loves water! A few days earlier he actually got in to wash his feet off with Brandon and decided it was time to go swimming and laughed the whole time! Then he cried all the way to the bathtub because he wasn't ready to get out of the lake. Kids have no concept of "too cold to swim" do they? We also got photos taken of the kids and their trees. Grammie buys a new tree every time she has a new grandchild born, so we had to capture that. Sophie is the only girl, so she got a pink dogwood that is starting to bloom and is just as tiny and pretty as she is. We had a great time and will be back again in a few weeks when we move!
The wife and mother of this lovely bunch you will read about. I love them with all my heart and thank God for every day that He gives us together. Even the rough ones, because those are the ones that make the good days oh so sweet!
Because of Isaac is a wonderful ministry started by some dear friends of ours. Their goal is to help couples financially meet their goal of adopting a child. Please pray and see if this is a ministry that God is calling you to help with, I know you will be blessed!!
