Some joyful ramblings....

We got a new patio set. It's really quite wonderful. Our little area is well....little. So, we needed something that would fit. We went to good old "Wal-Marts" and got this little set. Isn't it cute?

Dad and Brad put up a outdoor ceiling fan. I LOVE it! I'll have to get a pic of it soon...It's just so wonderful!

We went and visited with sweet Lindsey and her family. Of course, we had a blast.

This coming week we are going to Corpus with my parents and Brad's parents. We absolutely LOVE the beach and love the condos we are going to. It's literally across the street from the beach....Just pray that hurricane is either GONE or not near us!! We NEED a break before school starts.

God is good....always.

Let's Go Swimming!!

Well, the kids finished swim lessons. Wow...oh...wow! I am so thrilled at their progress. They did so well.

This was Taylor's last year of swim lessons. She can do strokes, dolphin dives, and needs no assistance. So, I feel like her "skills" are up to par if I say...let her swim out into the ocean without me. Wait...I'd NEVER do that!! hahahah But, I do feel confindent with her swimming skills.

Will, on the other hand, has always had a healthy fear of the water. And, he has struggled trusting another person with him in the water. So, on their last day when we could all watch, I was THRILLED to see him ACTUALLY swim to the teacher WITHOUT ANY HELP!! Woo-Hoo! Praise the Lord!!

It was an awesome "Mommy Moment" for me.

God is good....always.
