Courage

Be Strong and Courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged.

For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Joshua 1:9

Courage looks different for everybody, doesn't it? We all struggle with courage in different ways. In the new bible study that I am doing, I came across this verse, and found great truth and comfort in it. The command to follow is plain to see the Lord wants us to be courageous! For he is ALWAYS with us. It makes me feel like I could handle anything! Just thought I would share this.

First Day Of School

Look how grown up they look!
Look at those new backpacks and lunch boxes!
"See you later Bailey! Mwah!"

Little Madison

We celebrated Madison's 2nd Birthday at Pam and Dellis on Saturday! She looked like such a big girl! I had to leave early for a work party- but I got these shots before I left!

I think she liked the Leopard!

I am Loving all this Rain!

We have had some rain the past few weeks and that has been a welcome change to the regular Texas summer- it is sweltering at 100 degrees, and up! We have had a wonderful summer. Aaron finished his semester, and he will start back the same day as the kids (8/25) BACK TO SCHOOL for all!! Aaron and I have been so happy with the cooler tempuratures, we have been doing some house repairs and we are so in the mood for fall. Aaron has definaltly pulled me over to his way of thinking, Fall is the best time of year (although I will always be a summer girl).

The kids and I went to Kansas and had a wonderful time visiting Jennifer and her family! Here are some of my favorite pictures:

They look really happy don't they? We had a great time, but we were also happy to be home! We went to a whole bunch of baseball games this past weekend. Here are some of my favorite pictures:
