Week of July 15th thru July 22nd - Life Lately

Here is what we have been up to...

 Caleb went to British Soccer Camp and Ella went to Art Daze Camp!

They loved them both!

July 15th

Had to snap a picture before he headed out the door- can you tell he loves pictures?

I know I am partial but I do love this sweet boy - he is just growing up too fast for me!

Thanks Lauren for getting him and Nathan to and from camp all week!

Thank you to our New Hope family - Mrs. Deans and Mrs. Rollins.

The kids loved the invitation and I love the picture.  Thankful for both of you!

July 16th

I was sad I could not take him but thankful for friends who could and Corey's mom who came to help with the kids!

Mammy (my mom) took all four girls on this day - thanks for all the carpool rides this week!

You know who you are - Claire, Staci, our parents, and Lauren :)

Ella LOVED art camp and going with friends! 

A few pics I got off the Art Daze page 

Some of her art work when she came home!

This was my view with my feet propped up in the recliner but she loved it! 

ArtDaze is amazing - thank you Cathy Daniel!

My girl came home all smiles every day! 

July 17th

Caleb and I watched a movie

We watched "God's Not Dead" and both loved it! 

Ella read a book and waited for Tumbling!

She can't wait to be on the Pre Tumble Team next year!

Thanks for Mrs. Kite and Mrs. Deans she loves reading since 1st Grade!

Ella enjoyed VBS with Haley - can you tell?

Thanks Claire for taking her!  She had fun!

And again you know I love pictures and to see my girl having fun!

Wed and Thursday, July 18 and 19th

Ella and Caleb had play dates with some of their BFFs - and I sure love their moms!

We won't name all they have done for me - list would be toooo long!  Right girls!

Thank God that there are friends for each season of life!  Thank you Abbie and Staci - we all love you so much!  Kids had a blast and I could rest with no worries!

Thanks to Harrells for all the help with our kids back and forth to church!

Thanks to Kelly and Jamie for handling Wed night study and for Audrey to encouraging me to rest!

Thanks to Doug for such awesome childrens stuff - my kids love going on Wed nights!

No pictures but you are all my favorites!  See how blessed?!  Thank you Jesus!

OH and the Hills who dropped off lunch for me and a friend - Thank you Paige and Rachel for hanging out with me while MeMa was busy running kids around!

And Mrs. Blackmon for sending pics of my boy when I could not be there.

Thankful for a fellow teacher and friend!  Hope Ella and Charlie are in the same class again!

Friday July 20th

Claire ran the bus route this morning and sent all the mamas a cute picture- thank you Claire!

You know I love pics when I can't make it

Our family slogans this week

I love Lysa and First Five App - been reading it before I get out of bed!

Check it out!

Again on July 20th 

Ready to head out the door to dr and kids to camp!

Ella said the sweetest prayer - sure loves these kids! 

Caleb got a certificate at soccer camp and sweet friends sent me pics!

He has such a kind and caring heart!  Just wish someone could have been there but he knows we love him!

Corey and I went back to Greenville to the dr for labs, repeat CT, to talk to the new dr and a nice lunch at Rucker Johns - also some quality time!  Just wished I had felt better but do love him! 

Saturday, July 21st

We had a low key day - my fav Raynor girls came (mom, Melanie, Kaye, Nicole and Amy)

Kids played Corey and Kent hung out and kept the kids.  Robin Brown hung out and made us laugh.

Betsy brought two meals - chicken pastry for me and seafood for Corey!

We loved a nice chill day with family - thank you all!

Oh and I got a long nap!  IT WAS AWESOME!

Sunday, July 23rd

Had the sweetest time with just a few close friends who also knew Richard since he asked and offered to anoint me with oil - sorry if you were left out -  it was short notice and we didn't need a lot of people!

My view from the couch again

Sad my family was at church without me - I was told to rest!

Oreo Muffin Sprinkle Sparkle Taylor cuddled up for me - for about two minutes - but she is a sweet puppy!

What a week but lots of blessings!  Stay tuned...

Best way for me to keep up is just do a photo dump!
