When I was looking at our pictures I realized that it's been awhile since I've done a post. So, here's a few pictures that will bring you up to our return to Bluffton.
In April, Grace's friend Hosanna had tea party. The girl's had a great time playing with their baby dolls and dressing up in their fancy dresses.
Grady and Grace are still enjoying their friendship and taking on the world together.
During Easter we were able to visit Bluffton. Brandy, my sister, got a new puppy. Grace fell in love with it! Grace loves all animals, even though she's been nipped at by 2 dogs, bite by a cat and a hamster. She just keeps coming back for more.
We picked up our last round of library books before we headed back to Bluffton. We can't wait to visit the library in Bluffton. It's one of my favorite places to go with my kids.
The Saturday before we left, we enjoyed visiting with friends at our school's Spring Picnic. Right before we left, the kids asked if they could go into the water. As you can see, my answer was yes.
The Picnic ended with our teacher, Dan Falls, telling the kids a very captivating story about his time in tribe. The kids were fascinated by this story involving Dan, an alligator and another tribal person.
We enjoyed our last married social at an ice cream place in Jackson, The Parlor. Yes, the kids did have ice cream for supper.
Enjoying married time together without our children is always a cherished time. The seniors went out with the deans for breakfast, so we decided to share our time with the other married sophomores.
Finally, the day came for our last day of school. We had been talking about it for awhile so the kids didn't seem too sad. Child care has been so amazing. I think I'm most thankful for the scripture songs that Grace has learned. If you see her, ask her to sing "Encourage one another" to you.
In spite of wanting to be done and simply move onto our summer break, we had some homework we needed to finish up. Kent spent many hours on his timeline. It did get done and he did a great job with it!
So after packing, cleaning, loading, and more loading, sending my mom ahead with her full Escape, we set out for Bluffton on Saturday around 3. We finally had the kids in bed and asleep by 10:30. It was a lot but we made it.
We're thankful to be back, visiting with friends and resting. This past year has been an amazing year for us. We've learned so much about God, His Word, and ourselves. Having this summer break will help us to think about the things we've learned and recharge us for this fall.
If you're in Bluffton, we'd love to visit with you!
We can't wait to see you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!
