Father’s Day: We spent Father’s Day at home this year because we’d just gotten back from the beach. But I can’t let this opportunity pass to say how thankful we are for our dads. We have been blessed with two of the most patient, wise, loving, and Godly fathers. They live their lives (and always have) in a way that sets the standards high for their family, and they always put their children’s needs before their own. And I am so thankful for Jeff and the awesome dad he is to M and M. So often I get comments about what a wonderful Daddy he is. I knew he’d be a great Daddy, so I’m not surprised. I love getting to see him in his element—loving and taking care of others. He has such a special place in his heart for his children, and he is incredibly dedicated to them. Best of all, it is obvious on a daily basis how much he loves M and M, and I am thankful beyond words for that. No wonder he’s the favorite parent…
Jeff’s birthday: Some neighbors came over and helped us celebrate Jeff’s 28th birthday. I cooked his favorite meal (Pizza Hut pasta and breadsticks)J, and we celebrated by eating cake and embarrassing him with the “Happy Birthday” song (He can’t stand having this sung to him). It was a fun day celebrating a wonderful person!
Our 6th anniversary!: I’ve bragged on Jeff plenty above but have to say again how BLESSED I am to be married to this man. I can’t believe it’s been six years already. (I've posted various wedding pictures the past couple of years--here and here--but below is one of Jeff's favorites...)
Baseball games and cousins: We’ve gotten to go to a few of our nephews’ baseball games. It is so fun watching them grow up, and I can’t believe what little studs they are on the baseball field! We got to have Landon spend an afternoon with us and Jackson spend the night with us, and our kids were beside themselves with excitement. They love their cousins. (We've also enjoyed getting to see their little baby doll brother Camden, who has to be one of the best babies ever.) (Below is a picture of Maggie and Jackson, who both chose to wear footed PJ's in June...ha!)
AND, my sister Candace’s family just moved to Georgia this week! They lived near Little Rock, Arkansas (about a day’s drive from here), for years and then moved to Arizona last fall. I was secretly (or not-so-secretly?) bummed to have them move all the way across the country but knew they needed to do what was best for their family. But I am thrilled to have them close-by now (just a 3.5-hour drive, I think) and can’t wait to meet their newest addition, Wilson!
I’ve probably forgotten plenty, but I’ll post as I remember. Hope everyone is having a good summer and staying cool in the blazing heat…
