Praise God for America...and cement.

This weekend, Popo came over to finish up some new cement steps by our back door. He loves doing cement work which is such a blessing because Tom and I know absolutely nothing about it! We are so thankful for all of his efforts! Such a great gift!

Bailey too got to have some fun in the cement...well, sort of. She had to get her hands dirty (not her favorite thing) but she does think it's pretty neat to send her hand prints and name (and Mickey :), in the cement.

Today is the 4th of July. We thank God for the chance to live in a country with, truly, so many blessings. We recognize that our country needs God, and we pray that she turns towards him, but we also acknowledge all the blessings this country still affords. Today we went to church. We went to church and we praised God. We went to church and we praised God and no soldiers stormed into stop us. This is a freedom that we will fight for.

Summer weather means sprinkler fun...

The one great thing about Georgia's really hot weather?? Water fun! Sprinkler, pool, whatever...anything water related in a big hit during these horribly hot dog days of summer.

Playtime with Evan!

Last week, Evan came over to play. Bailey loves her friend. She's always so excited to see her. It's been fun watching the girls grow, to see them change in who they are as people and how they interact. They are beautiful little girls.

Double bonus for us...after Evan came over during the week, we got to go over to their house on Saturday for lunch! Glenna went above and beyond and made us a really good lunch (still craving those fries you made!!) and the girls again enjoyed some playtime while Tom and I enjoyed our time with Tony and Glenna.

Friends are such a blessing....
