See you, SOON!

Aunt Abbie is heading to Rome to study abroad (for Anderson University) for the next few months! Yesterday we gathered at Grandma and Grandpa's house with wonderful family to celebrate Abbie and her once in a lifetime trip! We LOVE you, Aunt Abbie and are so excited for you and this incredible journey you are taking!  We will be praying for you often and cannot wait to hear all about your trip! Love you! XOXOXO

Summer FUN!

Friday evening we met up with G-mom and G-dad Toombs and had dinner and went to watch an Indians game! The weather was PERFECT, the seats were great, and we had a WONDERFUL time!

First day of school!

Well, it finally happened...the day that I thought would not come...Our big boy is officially in PRESCHOOL! We went to bed a little early Monday night and read a book (Thanks G-mom and G-dad) called The First Day of Preschool, talked about what school would be like, read a few extra devotionals and prayed alot about his first day of school.  I was a little worried Tuesday morning but Cy was in great spirits while eating breakfast, getting dressed and on the drive to school he sang, "I get to go to preeeeeschoooolll!"  We walked into the building and Cy said, "Bye!" and walked down the hallway to meet up with his teacher, Ms. Cora. I picked him up 3 1/2 hours later and his first words were, "Mom! I LOVE SCHOOL!!!"   It was WONDERFUL, and although my heart swelled up with pride, there were no tears to shed.  My boy was ready to go to school and we couldn't have chosen a better place for him! He will be attending school Tuesday's, Wednesday's and Thursday's!

We are thrilled to see what he will learn and experience this school year!

Lake Cumberland Vacation!

 Uncle Justin came home from Japan for a short break, so G-mom and G-Dad Toombs, Tracy (Justin's girlfriend) Jamie and the girls, David and the Boys and I all decided to go on a mini vacation and head to the lake! Although we had some minor problems (boats breaking down, jet ski's breaking down, and a stinky cabin) we had a great time! God couldn't have given us more beautiful weather and the sights were stunning!)  Thanks for a great vacation!

 We have decided Nolan is more of a land-lover.  He did not like his life-jacket, therefore he did not like the boat, the water, or anything else for that matter! ha!

 Cy and Kate on the other hand, were little fish! :)

 I'm pretty sure Kinley is part mermaid! When she got in the water she just swam and giggled! It was too cute! :)

 Captain Nolan and G-dad

Daddy and the boys watching cartoons before heading out on the lake! :)

(In the pic, Nolan was hugging Cy and saying, "HI Bub! Hi Bubby! Hug Bubby!" over and over again! It was so sweet.  He is crazy about his big bub!"
