The Body

I love our Flock Group! When Ryan brought to the group's attention, that a family in our church needed some help, everyone was eager to do their part. Noah is an Army Ranger and is an undisclosed location for an undisclosed amount of time. He has left behind his wonderful wife, Becky and their eight year old daughter and two month old daughter (born a week before Anna). With a newborn to look after, Becky has not been able to manage their yard. Our Flock Group was glad to help. Donna contacted several plant nurseries and was able to get over $300 worth of plants donated. This last Thursday night everyone gathered for some hard work, from the oldest to the youngest. (Well, technically, Anna and Haily are the youngest, and they didn't do any yard work, but they did look pretty cute!) I was so proud of my little Rylie, she worked so hard. She out weeded me! The best part of the whole evening was watching everyone laughing and fellowshiping together. That, and seeing Becky's face when she saw the finished landscaping!

Dr. Appointment, etc

This is where we are right now! Isn't it beautiful?! We are having a great time here at the beach. The big girls got to have some kid free shopping time, the kids have been playing from sunup to sundown, and the men have been fed quite well! There have been moments when I have laughed so hard I've had tears streaming down my face! I haven't been able to sleep in yet, but I'm going to take a nap right now, so it all evens out. All in all, it's been wonderful! (Thanks Mom and Dad!)

Ryan and I came back into town yesterday for my Doctors appointment. We got to hear Anna's precious heartbeat and learn that my cervix is still closed (praise the Lord)!

Our church has started reading the Bible through all together and journaling on it. If you'd like to see what this looks like from my friend Dave's perspective, check out his new blog!
