Augusta Weekend 2013

We had another fun weekend in Augusta at the Todds.  The normal gang joined in on the fun.  Luckily, the Dawgs pulled out a great win.  We enjoyed lots of fun, food, and fellowship.  :)  We're always looking forward to the next time we see the Todds, Greers, and Meyur!  Here's a recap from our weekend together. 

The girls ventured out with the kids to the Pumpkin Patch.  Ansley quickly learned how to pick the perfect pumpkin.

 

Our crazy crew!

We took a golf cart ride to the fire station close by and some of the kids got in the big truck.

Ansley wasn't so sure about the fire truck, but liked to "drive" the golf cart.

Ansley and Matthew were buddies all weekend.

After naps, the kids all changed in to their UGA outfits and cheered the Dawgs on to victory!

Sunday morning, we all got up, ate breakfast, and played outside until lunch.

Sweet John playing.

 Ansley and Matthew continued to be buddies.

The big kids, aka Mitch, Joe, Nate, and Meyur, enjoyed a game of baseball in the yard and road.

The best picture we could get with our 6 kids.

We had a blast and can't wait to see everyone again.  Until next time...

July, August, September Update

I'm back! :)  I've had intentions to sit down and blog many times, but something always gets in the way. We've had a fun and busy past three months.  Here are some of the highlights from July, August and September.

We celebrated July 4th with a parade and firework show in Perry with friends.

We also went to Lake Blackshear with my family for a fun get-a-way.

SueSue and I met her cousin, Martha, at Lane's one summer day for lunch.  Ansley loved the tractors.

Ansley loved "hiding" in her toy bucket during our last few days of summer.

Ansley started back at Mrs. Cathy's house.  Mom made her this cute Back to School outfit.

We celebrated the wedding weekend of Kyle and Candace.  I will post more pictures when the photographer finishes and posts them.  Here are just a few from the weekend.

Football season has begun!  We love Georgia Saturdays! :)

Ansley sometimes poses for me like I ask.  This picture was too sweet not to share.  Last Sunday before church.

We took Ansley to her first Hornet game.  She was too cute in her uniform.  She refused pictures that night though! :(

Hopefully I can get back into the blogging routine.  :)

New Beginnings...

Matthew 7:8 says, "For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."

Just a quick update in my life!!

I have been praying for clarity and direction career-wise for quite some time.  I wasn't completely happy in my current school, and I knew the Lord had a better opportunity for me.  I prayed that he would present that opportunity to me and make it crystal clear.  Well, He is always faithful.  I started my first official day today as the new 5th grade teacher at Westfield.  I am BEYOND excited to have this new opportunity.  God's hand was in every step of me getting this job, and it's so neat to look back and see how it all progressed.  I continue to thank Him every day for his blessing of this new opportunity!

I'll blog a little more frequently when things settle down.  It's been a whirlwind around here trying to pack-up my old classroom and set-up my new one!  I still need to share some photos from our July 4th celebrations.
