Busy Life

 I found this picture that I forgot to post in June!  Lily made us an anniversary card.

I think it was storming outside that day since there was a little lightning in our picture with some storm clouds above our heads. 

It has been awhile since I have posted.  Life has been crazy, wonderful, and wild.  We are just so busy all of the time these days, but I will try to do better...soon.  Jamie is getting ready to leave for China on a Mission Trip.  So, we will be by ourselves for awhile.  We are not really looking forward to that, but so thankful that God is using Jamie for something awesome.  School is crazy as ever, and we are having the best time learning.  Lily is the best first grader in the world, and she has already read over 4,000 words in 23 books during the first couple of weeks.  She is an excellent little reader, and she enjoys reading all kinds of books.  She has just discovered non-fiction books, so they are a new treasure to her.  The next few weeks will be full of activities for her, so I should  be posting some pictures.  Please pray for Jamie as he travels across the world and pray for us as we make it without him...which is so difficult on both of us.  No excuses...life without Jamie is just hard on us.  We love Baba!
