Heartwarming

If in doubt, assume that they ARE listening in church.

Oh. My. Word.  Unsolicited notes are THE best.

Well, good to know!

After 8+ incredible years, it was finally time to trade-in the Tahoe.   We got this baby days before Andrew was born.  Literally our first Craigslist purchase, it was a steal and served us quite well in the CO mountains and as the car seats continued to pile in.   Not gonna lie....cried like a baby the last time I filled her up.  TOO many memories in this car, and clinging to my last bit of CO (besides the t-shirt, the Kroger card, and the 303 area code).  On to an Enclave.  Maybe the Rockies will meet her.  

Literally drove into the swap spot at exactly 140,000...

Earlier that morning, enjoyed the Design House with the best of the best.

 So proud of Andrew and Margaret at their AWANA Awards ceremony.  Based on the books he's completed, Andrew has memorized 150 passages to date and Margaret about half of that.  All three have memorized the books of Bible and Matthew simply can NOT wait to start next year.  Intersting stat provided...of the kids that are raised in the church, children that participate in AWANA are about twice as likely to stay with the church as adults.  About 93% of them never leave the church.  There's something to having the good book on your heart, not just in your hands. 

 Why does this NEVER happen at home anymore?!?  Apparently too excited about his first ride in the "new" car.

 The best of friends on the last day of school!  We love Cabell:)

Margaret's first FieldDay!  She was in hog heaven with the water sports, especially the water slide down the back hill!
