Whirlwind

These last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind and I am left wondering where the summer has gone! The day after our Neighborhood Bible Club, we left for Ozark Family Camp. We had a really good time with family and friends aside from getting the stomach flu. I tell you what, it's no fun being sick and taking care of a sick baby! Thankfully it was just for a day. John Heller ministered to us and it was a really encouraging time all around.

We left Turkey Hill on Friday and headed straight to Osage Beach, where we met my family for our annual vacation on the Lake. We had such a good time together. We felt bad though because we brought the stomach flu with us and out of the 16 of us only 3 avoided the vicious plague. In the midst of the sickness, we really did have a wonderful time as a family. I was even able to water ski (my medication is working!). Landon loved the boat and the tube, but hated his life jacket. One of my favorite times was sitting out on the deck talking about things of the Lord and singing praise songs. It really felt like a taste of what it will be like in heaven.

As sad as it was sad to come to an end, I am looking forward to getting back into the normal routine and it feels SO good to sleep in my own bed after being gone so long.

Many pictures and videos to come...

I can't wait to see camp pictures, and I so hope we get to go next year!

I'm also thrilled you felt well enough to ski, that had to be a huge encouragement to you! Keep on pressing on!
