Summer

Summer has proven to be as fast-paced as every other season of the year! We have been keeping busy...

David has been working, and working out! (check out his 'fitness photo' on my new photography blog, link at left, woo-hoo). He has really been dedicated and has recently started playing racquetball to add some cardio. He loves it. He purchased a new racquet - who knew there was such a BIG difference? Technology - it is so far reaching! The three of us went to the gym last Sunday afternoon and played together...well, David attempted to teach us how to play. It was fun! Way better than walking a treadmill for 30 minutes!

Jarrett has been a busy boy. He finished up 1st grade and attended a six-week literacy program at his school. He made knew friends, and we learned more about his learning style/needs. He has enjoyed spending time with family and friends, going to the beach, swimming, and just started football again - after some persuasion! He is doing so well this year! Actually, the entire team has progressed -- maybe they will win some games this season! Raffle Tickets Anyone? $2 each ... LOL! :)

I have been busy, too. Between home, work, school, creating a new photography blog/business, preparing to teach an outdoor photography class, and a handful of photography sessions/events, I am one stretched woman! While it keeps me going (and going), all of these things are such a blessing in my life. I don't think I would change any of it. I appreciate that I have been called and equipped to minister in different ways. Redeem (make the most of) the time, Eph. 5:16.

Oh yeah, Jarrett and I spent yesterday afternoon at Boomers! We had such a good time...go-karts (6x), bumper boats (x2), ferris wheel, tea-cups (x3), swings, miniature golf, arcades, pizza, and ICEE! What a day! He came in this morning and gave me a big hug..."Thank you, Mama, for the best day ever yesterday!" The joy of motherhood...

God bless.
