Chattanooga!

We took another trip to Chattanooga this summer.  We went for the evening of 4th of July.  I thought it would be nice to stay there because we could walk to the fireworks on the river and then back to the hotel without having to deal with traffic.  As it turned out, we stayed in the hotel room and watched them through our hotel room window.  We could not have asked for a more perfect trip - all the way around!  The weather was amazing.  The girls were sweet and fun.  Our life is FAR from perfect but there are so many times that my heart just overflows at how good it is. 

We randomly came across the restaurant at the Chattanooga ChooChoo where the waiters and waitresses would sing in between serving your meal.  The girls were in awe!

Breakfast at the Blue Plate Diner the next morning.  The fattest pancakes you've ever seen!

More Summer Fun

We all attended VBS at the church this year.  I was in charge of Caroline and Kelsey's class.  VBS days are draining for me (and not in my gift set) but it was fun to see them playing and enjoying so much time with friends!

We spent as many days at the pool as possible!

Libby moved out of the nursery at church this summer.  She started attending services with us and then going to Sunday School.  She is such a sweet girl and is very quiet and observant through the services.

Faithbridge

This is our second year attending the Faithbridge Festival.  It's such a great time to visit with other families who foster and treat all the kiddos to some fun!

Libby loved to ride the pony!  She jumped right on without any fear which made Daddy happy that maybe one day he would have a horse rider.

We got a little fellow at the first of May.  He was almost 4 months old when we got him and he stayed until right before Halloween.  He was the sweetest, most easy going baby ever!  We all LOVED him to pieces.  We're thankful for this little place in the world that we can serve and care for those who have no voice.  The girls are always asking when we will get our next baby. :-)
