Summer fun

Well, this summer has been busier than I had planned, but it has been fun! Blueberry picking, McWane Center, travelling to Jacksonville, guitar camp, film camp...

I wanted to post just a little note on God's faithfulness. As believers we always talk about "God's faithfulness" almost to the point of trivializing His Amazing Faithfulness. We have been home from China for over 6 months now...I feel like I am just now waking up from a dream. It has been harder than I thought - not because of Abby, simply because of me...my selfishness, my pre-conceived ideas, etc. But, because of HIM, our family is adjusted amazingly well, and I believe that He allowed this 6 months to be crazy for me in order to show me that it is He who does the working in us. He caused Abby to adjust well, He caused her not to have issues with inappropriate attachment, He caused her to love routine and to giggle for 30 minutes when we got home from our vacation (she knows this is HOME). Anyway, He amazes me.

Here are some summer pictures...Abby and Maggie playing in the crib...Abby and Maggie getting into trouble (which they LOVE to do together)...and Drew's 10th birthday party.

Privacy...

As I am sure you have noticed (if you are still bothering to check if we have posted anything :-), I haven't posted in quite sometime. The main reason for that is privacy concerns. Initially, I had a privacy setting on our blog. Then, I took it off...now, I am going to put it back on again :-) I haven't been too smart about not putting personal information on this blog. So, I am going to put a privacy setting on the blog and continue to post for friends and family who would like to view things going on in our world. :-) If you would like to be able to view the blog, please email me. If you don't have my email address, post a comment so that I can email you. Thanks so much, you guys!
