We are staying very busy this summer. We just spent 4 days at our friends lake house and we had so much fun. We swam, boated, tubed, and ate way too much. We really want to thank our friends Monica and Houston for their generosity in allowing us to bring all our kids( at least half of the ones who were home) to their lake house for the 4th of July. I just love summer!!
God created the 7th day for rest, and I think he created summer for fun!

HAPPY 14th BIRTHDAY JULIA
You have been an amazing and wonderful daughter! God blessed us beyond measure and our expectations when he brought you to us. We praise him for your life. We also want to thank your mother who gave you birth 14 years ago.
I wish we could have been there to see your first smile, your first step and your first day of school, but we are blessed to be able to see you grow and mature into the beautiful young lady you are becoming. We have seen you accept Christ, we have seen you succeed in feats that you set your heart on doing. We have seen you overcome and accomplish so much. We are so proud of you, and so happy that we can parent you for the rest of your life. Our lives are filled with more joy because of God's love for orphans and a call to find you, your mother that we never knew, and a country that is willing to let their children find a better life.
God bless you always Julia!
