Catching up

I have not posted all summer! I think I'll blame it on the fact that it's been way to hot. Too hot for anything! Our Texas summer was brutal and I've been bitter about it, pretty much up until now. So here we are in October already! My favorite time of year with so much to look forward to. Brian and I just got back from a vacation to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. It was simply perfect and amazing! Our sweet church gave this trip to us as a gift for Brian finishing his doctorate. Super cool, right? When they told us, we were speechless and humbled and super grateful. So we went for 7 days to paradise. Our friends Nate and Lindsey from Michigan met us there for the week. We did nothing but relax, laugh, eat, play, relax, sleep, shop, relax, sleep, laugh, and relax some more. We 100 percent enjoyed every second of our time away It was so thoughtful of our church to give us a gift we could share together after many many hours of work that Brian put in on his doctorate away from our family. We will never forget this trip or the gift from Horizons Church. We feel so loved!






Here are a few other pictures of our summer. We enjoyed visits from my mom and another from my brother. We tried to stay as wet or as cool as possible!!






My little girls are growing up. Lily is quickly approaching 2, and Halle started preschool this fall!

Hi Shannie!!!

Always so fun to see you and your family and all your smiling faces on here.

I bet Brian is HIGHER THAN HIGH about his LSU Tigers!!! Well, my Badgers aren't too far behind at #4 - - - wouldn't it be something if his boys and mine met in the NATIONAL TITLE GAME?!?

Oh well - - - it's a little early to HOPE for that, at least for MY boys, but I can't HELP but think it.

Loved seeing the photos of your trip, Shan! Your church family is so generous. I loved my time with you last summer. How about Naperville, next year! Mom
