Visiting Grandparents

A couple of weekends ago, me and the kids went to my grandparents and dad's house for the weekend. It was really fun and really good. Stew took time to rest the whole weekend...i came back needing rest! =) My turn is coming. It is so good to just get out of the city and be in the country! This was fun for me, b/c i used to spend weekends here as a child. It was really good to spend time with family.

The Garden

The garden continues to form! We are so exciting! It has been a process that has given many examples to even how are hearts are with the Lord...how the body works together. We are so thankful to many who have continued to help and start it. Things are starting to pop up..if we can keep welseygrant and sally from digging it up...i think we might have some veggies to try soon!

The Snows

Aaron and Morgan have become dear friends to us. We met them through another friend and stew and aaron soon became friends as their worlds began coliding and overlapping between people and heart for God. We love when they come visit. This time, Aaron taught wesley grant to say, "Bonk your knoggin!" Aaron, he still is saying that...ha! We love you guys! Thank you for your encouragement and love you give everytime you come to town!

A day at the Botanicals

Sally with future mother-in-law!

Olivia Engstrom and I were able to take the kiddos to the new DinoLand at the Botanical Gardens here in Austin this morning. It was fun! We had moments of melt downs, but as we persevered through it, got a few good pics and ended the day with lunch and naps, Olivia and I had a good time! we actually got to finish a few conversations! Thanks for today, Olivia! we love you guys! We got some good pics for "the future wedding", too! =)

Our Future Garden continues to develop!

SO, the garden is continuing to be built...one step at a time....the dirt and boxes have gone in...it is almost time for the food to be planted! We are already learning things from the process...we are praying this garden will be a testimony to our neighbors...would be a joy and make an opportunity for us to share of our most joy...Jesus...that it would be a blessing to our community.

This morning I looked out and there were doves...15! of them walking over all of the dirt in the boxes....maybe that is normal...but all the other birds that are in our yard every morning were eating on the opposite side of the garden...We pray that this garden would bring peace...the peace of Jesus somehow to our neighbors and friends...we will watch and see how God does this. Regardless of the reason, I thanked God for that picture this morning!
