Another day. . .

And another "school" year for Jovey. Not really. . . she attends a local church for Parent's Day Out twice a week in preparation for the real thing next year in the form of Kindergarten. She's getting to be sooo big and it's hard to believe that in November, we will be celebrating her 5th birthday! Where the time went, I'm not sure, but I am sure that with each new "beginning" (first day of school, first tooth lost, first school program), will come new and different blessings, challenges and of course, with Jovey, comedy!

Love you, Jovey Kay, and pray that God will continue to reveal Himself to you in ways that none of us could ever imagine!

McWillis fam vacay, Myrtle Beach, SC 2009

We had an incredible time with the Willis fam (our best friends) on our second trip to Myrtle beach together in 3 years! The weather was awesome, the company was moreso and the time away was much needed by us all! Nicole and I have super similar routines in daily activities and running a household, so we all get along "swimmingly" for the week! Our kiddos are super sweet (most moments) and the adults are just glad to have days off of work and extra hands to help out with kiddos and cooking and just to chat with in general. Our boys enjoy talking Baseball, Shark Week and everything in between! I could ask for no better family to call our family friends, heavy on the "family" part of that equation after almost 8 years of hanging out together! Going with friends on vacay also means trusted babysitters for walks on the beach, date night and boogie boarding without interruption! Here are just a few of the pics from the week of fun in the sun!
