Let summer begin!

*sigh*

We made it. Another school year completed. Reflecting on the past 9 months, the first day of school seemed like a lifetime ago. And yet ironically, it felt like yesterday. I can pinpoint times when God's strength was highly evidenced...or rather, when we finally tapped into it the most. Those times when I let God's Word quench my thirst and sustain me to the fullest. Overflowing. It was a roller-coaster ride at times; and when we were at the top, we were hanging on for dear life as the bottom lie beneath us with a drop straight down, slightly airborn from our seats but still fastened in tight. Makes me think of that song "You Won't Let Go" by MWS....Jesus truly is the anchor for my soul!!!!  I'd never make it without Him. We'd never make it without Him!
my mini-man...who's not lookin' so mini anymore :(
The ending of the school year was met with busy days, but fun days. It was met with a few tears, but more laughter. It was met with more awards and overall celebrating. It was met with late nights and early mornings, but with that faithful creamy coffee at the fingertips.  

Reading award for Carson!!! Good job CJ!
Nanny & Carson!


A very proud mama!!
Carson's fun day with his class--bowling, park, pizza lunch, swimming...definitely FUN!








having a blast in the pool!!
As way of a Carson update, you'll notice these swimming pictures contain a boy with a very wet head...because we've been given the green light for our boy to finally be able to do swimming lessons again (it's been a looooong 3 years!) and go underwater!!!!! God has worked out the details perfectly yet again (but is that any surprise?!) as we will be "stopping by" in SLC on our way to MN to meet with the specialist who will be performing the next surgery on our CJ. The visit will consist of a hearing test and then having the initial consult with the doctor in order to proceed with the next step. God's faithfulness continues to reign supreme on this journey and we have no doubt He will continue to provide in a variety of ways. It's His story through us as long as we keep letting Him tell it! For now, we'll be heading to the pool as much as possible!! :)

last day of school!!!!! :)
Summer is now in full session as we began it with new summer pj's, shakes, celebrating with high school grads, barbecuing with friends, soaking up more sun, and finding joy in the simplest things included in our days! Before we know it we will be Minnesota bound!!! :) :) :)

summer shakes!!
YUM!!
love my CJ














laughing around the fire!
Elisha & KJ :)
