We haven't spent much time at the family river property the past few years, and we were able to make a trip down to the Shenandoah on Saturday to spend the day with the Frank Family. The kids had so much fun in the water (Grampa had fun too)...

Praise Baby
One of the best things we've ever purchased for our kids is the Praise Baby DVD collection - I think there are four or five of them now, and they're basically Baby Einstein format, but with worship music and a mix of patterns, pictures and real people/animals. Grady has now discovered them and will sit and watch them for a half hour or more! I love listening to the music and feeling that my baby is learning about Jesus even at two months old...
Summer Fun
I'll be the first to admit that I'm a homebody. I love spending time at home and have no problem going an entire week just hanging out in our yard and in our home. But I do have two social butterflies who love to go out and do stuff with their friends! So we've been doing some fun summer activities. Last week we went to a free Veggie Tales Pirates movie, then played in the fountain afterwards. And another day we went to Burke Lake Park and rode the train, the merry-go-round and had lunch & ice cream. I love seeing the joy on the kids' faces while they have a blast, and I love that they usually walk around holding hands while they do stuff.
Give Me a V - Give Me a B - Give Me an S!
We did VBS this year for the very first time, and we are SO glad that we did. We loved that the kids were learning about Jesus and having a blast with their friends at the same time. All the families in our small group did the same VBS at a small local church (our church doesn't do VBS), and each night while the kids did their program, the adults either sat outside and had dinner and played board games, or went out to dinner. We had fun too!

Guy Time
Kevin & Brody have been spending lots of "guy time" together this summer, with lots of trips to Home Depot, working on projects together and going for runs in the morning... Brody LOVES hanging out with his daddy! And I just love watching the special things that each kid does with Kevin - they both absolutely adore him. Last night during her prayer at dinner, Skyla thanked God for Grady and Brody and "my very special daddy who I love" (no mention of Mom). Thanks.
