China Reunion

It was a wonderful weekend in Asheville! This was our third reunion and the girls are growing up so fast. They had a wonderful time together. Olivia loves her China sisters! We can hardly wait until next year!

Our babies are growing up!

One, Two, Three, JUMP!

Olivia jumped off the diving board for the first time this week! Her favorite activity during swim class is retrieving the rings from the bottom of the pool!

Myrtle Beach







We spent a few days at Myrtle Beach. We all enjoyed the heated lazy river, the pool, hunting for sea shells and just being together.

Father's Day

Mark received a new head lamp for Father's Day. He and Olivia have been using it at night to sit outside on the patio and read books. Mark is a wonderful man and Olivia is so blessed to have such an amazing "daddy!"

We are learning about volcanoes in the Philippines this month in Mission Friends, so we decided to try a little experiment and Olivia had a blast!

Our Week In PA

Olivia and I just returned from a week in PA with our dear friends Shelly and Christy. We had fun touring Philadelphia but Olivia's favorite thing was putting the sprinkler under the trampoline and jumping with Christy. These two girls were inseparable! We are praying they will be moving to NC soon.


Olivia liked the plane ride on the "little" plane...except for the landing. On the way home we were delayed "in the plane" for 3 hours and she never complained one time. She actually did better than most of the adults.

I wish I could have captured the expression on Olivia's face when she first saw the Liberty Bell. After reading and talking about the bell for weeks she was thrilled to see that it was real!
