Romans 12:9-13
"Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality."

Getting Ready- 38 Weeks!

Well we had my 38th weeks doctor's appointment today so I thought I would update! I'm officially 1 cm dilated and 50 % effaced...although that could mean a few days to going all the way to my due date, it made me feel better to know SOMETHING is happening. Especially since I was at nothing 2 weeks ago. I'm getting very excited but also very nervous for the unknown. I'm trying to enjoy this last little bit of time before our lives are forever changed. Really looking forward to the change though! Chris is completley calm and collected as usual so that is always a comfort to me.

Check back with us soon!

4th of July

We had a fun 4th of July this year despite me being very big and not wanting to really sit in the sun but God provided gorgeous weather and we had great friends who brought tents so I was very grateful to sit in the shade! We even brought Roxy this year and she was happy to sit as my companion :) Sean and Brad playing Corn Hole

Mike T. and Chris on the other side


Here's Roxy- she was very happy to be at the beach- especially since she had on a red white and blue bandana! She was actually very good and was content to just sit by me all day...she did get a swim or two though...she's kind of scared of the waves! haha Great guard dog...




Katie and the newly engaged Katie W.! Congrats Katie and Scott- we are very happy for you two!

Pool Day

Krysten, Ethan and Tucker came to swim in the pool one day while Gus stayed up in Savannah. Ethan was kind of scared of the water at first but it didn't take long and he loved it. Here are some pictures from the day.





















































































Here's a video of Ethan swimming by himself.



Oldywed Shower

Mom an Dad's oldywed friends (their friends they've had since newlyweds) threw us a shower and we had a blast...Sorry its picture overload.... Look below for a description of what Chris is wearing :)
Ashley and John came in town for the shower- I was so glad to have them there! Thanks guys- love you!

So look what Chris got to wear....this outfit was made back when us "oldywed kids" were being born and every soon-to-be dad had to wear it. Well they busted it out for our next generation! Chandler will be the first baby :) Chris was a good sport and wore it while we opened gifts.


This was a game where the guys had to drink the juice out of the baby bottles the fastest...they all ended up with it all over their shirts!




Kate and I




Mrs. Jan the host talking about the juice game

There was tons of food! yum- thank you everyone...we had a great time and it was so great to see everyone.
