Updates

So much has happened in the last couple of weeks! Life has its lulls and then its exciting moments where everything seems to happen at once!

We had vacation bible school at our church last week and 5 children were saved! Two of them were baptized on Sunday morning! We thank the Lord for these precious souls that have been drawn to Him and hope to see them grow spiritually in the future!

Mike has had several opportunities to preach in the last couple of weeks and is really enjoying it! He is a wonderful preacher and I love listening and learning from his preaching!

My mom and dad and youngest sister, Brittany, came down to visit this past week- we had a great time going to the zoo, swimming at the pool, cooking, talking, and spending time together. Mike and I always enjoy it when family comes down to visit! Thanks mom and dad for all you did while you were here! We had a great time!

Mike and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary on July 23rd! Hurray! We've made it 3 whole years! Ha ha! God has been so good to us, allowing us to be together and love each other! What a privilege to be married! I can't imagine my life without Mike, the most amazing and wonderful man on earth! Sorry everyone, I got the best catch!

Caleb had his birthday on July 28th- he turned 2! He has no concept of time (obviously) but we keep telling him he is 2 now so he is excited about that since we are! The grandparents spoiled him with so many gifts! Such a lucky kid!! We had a fun birthday party for him while Papa and Gramma Johnson were here visiting, and then on his birthday we had cake and ice cream and he opened a few MORE gifts! I think he's had plenty of sugar and new toys to last for awhile! Thank you, you wonderful grandparents you!!

A few days ago, Caleb was running around the pool and slipped on the wet concrete. He landed on his head and ended up gashing his forehead to the bone! So, off to the ER we went. Thankfully, my mom and dad were in town when it happened, so they watched Abbie for us while Mike and I took him in to get stitched up. 11 stitches and 2 stickers later he was feeling much better! He just got the stitches taken out today and he looks pretty good! What a blessing he didnt knock any teeth out or get a concussion! I think we can handle a few stitches. :) Guess we should get used to this since Caleb seems to be a bit accident prone. :) Boys....

Here are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure!
