Cape Madras

I love Cape Madras! Kyle always looks so cute when he wears his Cape Madras so I thought I would give it a shot when I saw them on sale for women at Kevin's. They are now my favorite! Check them out.

Fun with Paint

Yesterday Abbie and I went to the front

door and found a package from Poppa! In the box was Abbie's favorite thing... colors! So this morning we set out to the back porch to draw and color with 3D sidewalk chalk and paint. It was so much fun and they even included huge animal stencils to trace and color in. We were messy and had the best time!!! Thanks Poppa!

AWESOME Website!!

I love this new website I found and think that everyone needs to go there and get inspired!! It is called Garnish and they have everything you need to make your gifts, parties and packages look cute. I think I might make my families homemade ice cream recipe and order some cups to deliver to all my friends. Check this one out!

CUTE SHIRTS!

Look how cute the girls look this morning. Last night Kyle went to pick up our friends at the airport from their week long trip in Michigan and they brought back the girls t-shirts. They are so cute and really, really soft. Abbie was so excited to wake up this morning and put on her new pink tee! Thanks Mr. & Mrs. B and Lindy Lou. We love them!!

Okra and Tomatoes!

Yummy!

I love Southerfood.com. I had a ton of tomatoes from our Alabama trip and I bought fresh okra that only I will eat. (Kyle is not a fan) So through the magic of Google I was able to figure out how to stew the tomatoes and cook the okra. So GOOD! I wish I bought more okra. ~ Next time.

4th of July

4th of July we headed to Columbia, AL for our family reunion and of course stopped in Slocum to go to our favorite produce stand for Tomatoes! Here is a picture of the girls in their 4th of July Preppy Little Dresses at the stand and all the yummy fresh produce we brought home from our trip! This was Kate's first trip to Alabama and she even won the youngest cousin at the reunion.

Thank You for your Prayers!

Thank you for all your prayers for Kate. We went to the doctor this morning and Kate got a clean bill of health! We could tell over the last few days that she got the pep back in her "step" but it was wonderful to hear it from the doctor. These past few months have taken quite a toll on us and we are so glad that it is all behind us. It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends that have been lifting our family up in prayer. I am really looking forward to reconnecting with all of you over the coming weeks.

Please Pray for Kate

Hello Friends & Family,
As some of you are aware we have had a rough couple of months with Kate and now we are reaching out to you for prayer. Since our ER visit on Thanksgiving weekend Kate has been sick and we are not sure what is going on. She has had pneumonia and constant fever among many other things. It always seems to get better and then a couple of days later it will come back starting with a fever. We are not sure what to think about all this and are just reaching out to you all for prayer. We pray that our precious little girl will be healed totally of whatever is ailing her. I will say that through all of this she has remained a true joy. She is a blessing and we are so proud to be her parents. I am so sorry to all of you who I have not gotten to spend time with. I have missed birthdays, births of good friends children, baby showers for dear friends among many other things. I am sure that each one of you understand the position that I am in and as soon as we get Kate back on track I will get in touch with each one of you to catch up. Kyle and I are trying to hang on and it has not been easy with the two businesses and the girls. So please keep us in your prayers as well. We need strength to keep going each day. We love each and everyone of you and thank you for keeping our family in your prayers.
