Summertime

It’s summertime – at least it was – it now actually winding down with preschool set to start next week.  But for now, I thought I would write about what we have been doing this summer.

A few weeks after going to the Outer Banks, we took a long weekend trip to Myrtle Beach with Brian (he had a work thing there).  We had such a great time.  The kids and I went back and forth between the beach and pool while Brian was working.  We got to hang out as a family over the weekend and the kids really liked the ocean this time.  Hudson did not want to get out (helps that he did not get stung by a jelly fish this time!).  We got to visit Broadway on the Beach (for those who know what Kemah is, I compare it to this, only way huger).  The kids loved feeding the ducks and fish, riding the carousel, playing on the playground, and just walking around. 

So, our plants from the beginning of the summer are still alive, but have not produced any fruit or vegetables (but they are green, so I have not completely killed them). 

We bought our first antique piece.  It is an East Lake dresser painted white for Lilly’s room.  It is about 100 years old and I think it looks great – I even got some cute pink antique knobs to put on it – I will post a pic when they come in. 

Lilly went to an all week morning mermaid dance camp.  She loves her new dance studio and had fun being a little mermaid.

Overall, I think we have really embraced our new home this summer.  We are not afraid to explore and try new things. 

Oh, one more huge thing.  We had been praying about finding a church home since we moved here.  We have finally joined a church.  Wake Crossroads Baptist church is where we now call home.  We love it and have already made some friends.  Do you want to know how we found out about it – well – from a guy standing behind us in line for a movie.  We struck up a conversation with him since he had an Aggie shirt on (obviously a Texan) and he told us about where his family went.  We would have never known about it had it not been for him – God has a sense of humor and timing for sure!  His wife is even from East Texas!
