Meghan and Jesse are Getting Married

We were so excited when Meghan contacted us to do their engagement photos and photograph their big day in October. They weren't sure where they wanted their photos done, except they did not want the beach. If you aren't fans of the beach, why have your photos there? So we talked and agreed that a park would be perfect. We actually took them to the same park that we had our engagement photos done 5 years ago...memories!
When Jesse proposed to Meghan they had just recently gotten a puppy. When he asked her to marry him the puppy came out with the ring on its collar! We thought that it would be great to incorporate it in with the photos.

An early Wordless Wednesday

Yes...my little man was swinging by himself and not strapped in...daddy's? What would we do without them? :-)

Wordless Wednesday

So Behind...

in my postings! Things have been incredibly busy and crazy lately so I haven't blogged about any of it. So here are a few quick catch up items of note:

• Luke started walking! :-) He has decided he prefers to do it more in the afternoon and evening...which isn't so bad b/c he's been tiring himself out more.
• I am receiving my Professional Contract with the County! another YAY! As of May 26th it will be official.
• I am moving classrooms. This isn't too bad since I will no longer have a room that leaks. In fact it is one of the brand new 12 rooms that were built through out the year.
• I was able to visit FBC of Fernandina on Monday night and hear Tony Nolan preach for their revival. It was awesome!
• While at the church we ran into my daddy's old boss. It was great seeing him again and hearing all of the wonderful things about daddy...especially that everyone at the mill misses him still and it's so different now without him.
• I will be working an extra few days this summer with our school. We have a stipend coming from our Title 1 funds that enable us to work a little bit more in the summer getting curriculum aligned and working on the school improvement plan.
• Another group of our students at church will be graduating. Not quite as big of a group as last year, but I am still going to miss them being involved with us. But excited about the new group coming up.
• Oh yeah...Luke is allergic to strawberries! Found this out during spring break but realized I never blogged about it. Keep them away from him...it is not a pretty sight to see. (I'll post pictures later.)

I'm sure I'll have more coming up soon!

Love ya!

My hubby!

This month marks a lot of milestones in our lives. It was in May of 2006 that Jeff graduated from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville KY. It was May of 2007 that Jeff was brought on as the full time student minister at Gray Gables. It was May of 2007 that Jeff was ordained. It was also May of 2007 that we found out we were expanding our family. I'm starting to think that May might be a good luck month for us...or just God's perfect timing...yeah I'll go with that one!

This photo was taken at Jeff's graduation ceremony in KY.
