aunt holly stayed with us for some of her texas visit. she volunteered to be the one to paint and help organize your room.

she. is. awesome.

i was her cheerleader and volunteered to watch her sweet emily 🙂

our two little rascals got some quality cousin time together 🙂

while sydney and jack were sent off to spend the week with granny and gramps at their first vacation bible school….

daddy worked so hard on this bead board project. i couldn’t be more proud of him! he has just a few more steps to finish {chair rail and outlet extenders } but i can’t wait to show it off….

oh and i have some pictures to print!

thank you so much aunt holly and daddy for making this room so special … it could not have been completed with out you!

now we await the little one who will call this special place her room 🙂

our lord called papaw home. it was very unexpected and seemed way too sudden. it has been a whirlwind few weeks. we take so much comfort in remembering our times we spent with him, the memories that were made. the love that was poured out in the last two weeks has been unlike anything we have ever known. it has been so very beautiful and has taught us so much! call and hug your loved ones every chance you get. take pride in the family that you have. make it a point to visit them. be grateful for the gifts god sends you each and every day. His love and mercy are endless.

we love you and miss you so much papaw. we will keep your stories going and we look forward to the day our lord reunites us all again!

Psalm 34:18: “The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

eternal rest grant unto him, O lord,
and let your perpetual light shine upon him.
may he and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of god, rest in peace.

amen

xxoo

{independence day + family reunion}

July 20, 2015celebrations, cousins, summer

fredericksburg style….

we enjoyed a wonderful weekend with family in our favorite small town. fourth of july parade, back yard bbq, fireworks and all.

irish eyes were sure smiling down on us that day. i know they had to be so proud to see us gather together with all these new little faces that have made the family grow even more beautiful!

lots of love and laughter from everyone! we missed seeing those who couldn’t be there with us but looking forward to the next time we can all gather together again! thank you to our wonderful host! 😉 who is up for hosting the next one?!? a hotel might work best for this clan 🙂

xxoo
