August Highlights

We joined the YMCA again this July & August with the Molskness family. This year Kristie and I braved the pool on our own. It was a party!

Here's my crew. We were blessed to have Zachary every other week, the kids loved having a friend around.

Food is necessary everywhere we go!

We were thrilled to see this awesome family. The Wamsley's stayed overnight on their way back from Florida. One of my favorite families ever! I couldn't have survived early motherhood without Tracey. And Jamie helped grow our faith as our small group leader for years.

Our kids then...

and now. I love these boys, having seen them grow up and even hold them as newborns.

The Cleary family had our Monday night ladies bible study group and families over for a BBQ. I LOVE these girls so much!!!

We started taking the kids on individual dates on Friday nights. Addy got to go to the Concord aquarium. Surprisingly great place!

These are the women from our small group aka Wednesday night bible study. We went out for Mexican to catch up after taking the summer off. Love these girls too!

The kids each got a chance to go to Sweet Frogs on their date nights. Who doesn't love soft serve with your choice of endless toppings!

We were honored to host the Murdock family for the weekend. They came into town from Philadelphia to help their son Conor move to college. The Murdocks are one of the 1st and favorite families we met after moving to Charlotte.

This is Alexandria, their oldest daughter. She lives in Charlotte and is a teacher at an inner city school.

My friend Holly, I'm exactly the middle age between her and Alexandria.

After a hike in the woods, Josh cooked a crayfish the girls caught in the creek and everyone got a taste. It was crazy! Quin is one of Addy's very best girl friends.

I went to a ladies brunch at Amanda's house. It was great to finally meet all her friends.

She's one of my besties.
