Broken Camera

What?  My camera isn't working?  

I have had my Nikon in the shop for over 6 weeks now.   They gave me a loaner but now that battery isn't working on my loaner, so I have been without a camera.  About to die- really!  I have tried to capture every moment of my life via Instagram, but I do have some phone pictures to hold me over until I am "complete" again!  I don't want to miss a beat.

I don't really have much to blog about these days.  It seems like when Avery was little we were home all day learning new things, crafting & catching every second of life's sweet milestones.  Not that things aren't that way now, but I am on the go with her so much that I don't have a lot to say except we are spending our summer days at the pool, park, library, gym, lunch dates.. you name it!  I don't know how much I can post those things over & over again without people getting completely bored...  HAHA!

We went to our town's local "Grape Festival" on Friday night.  Avery enjoyed the fun rides & being outside all evening.

{Keep in mind these are all phone pictures that I take very fast}

Saturday evening we enjoyed a date night out with his work crew at Ruth's Chris.  I love Chad's work, his friends & co-workers.  He recently got a great promotion & we are so blessed for him to be at a company that is so wonderful & looks out for his best interest.

A huge new thing in our lives right now is Avery.  She starts preschool this week.  Can you believe it?  Seems like yesterday I was having her, now she is in preschool?  Doesn't seem possible?  We are putting her in a Christian preschool.  I am so glad she is going to be learning about God, & learning all of the great things that will prepare her for the years to come.

I love my sweet brother, this picture always makes me smile!

Seems like yesterday...

Now we are going to her open house to enroll her in preschool...

Speaking of growing, can you believe that my sweet nephew is almost 9 months old?  How cute is he?  I love you Hudson!!!  

Avery talks about him everyday!

Life is so good right now.  So many great things in the works with our sweet little girl.  She is growing to fast, learning new things & making us giggle each & everyday.

Please continue to pray for my Daddy.  He goes to a cardialogist on Thursday for more updates on his condition.  This time of life has been hard on me.  I haven't been myself in alot of ways, concerned for him, worrying about his health... just life I guess you could say.  I have been trying to take in a lot of time trying to understand why this is happening, what is going on & praying for God' healing.  I love the power of prayer & appreciate each moment someone will say a quick prayer for our family!

Lots of hugs!
