Update on Michelle!

Julie's sister, Michelle was released from the hospital on Thursday to go home! They successfully took her off the IV anitbiotics and switched to pills so she can recover at home with her family!
Go God!

I give you thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise; I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.
Psalm 138:1,2

Update on Julie's Sister & Baby Rex

Our nephew Rex was born on Thursday, August 14th!
He is home now and doing well!

Julie's sister, Michelle is still in the hospital, there were complications with the epidural, which led to many problems. We are hopeful that she will be going home this week so she can be back with her family and enjoy her precious little boy.

Thank you so much to all of our friends that have been praying for her and our family!

We got to take the girls up to the hospital to see Michelle this past Sunday! Michelle had not been able to see her girls since Tuesday. It was a sweet time!

Keely being silly!

The girls got to stay with us a few days last week!

Keely & Laney watching cartoons...how cute are they!

8/16 -Vacation in AZ...Day 4

We did some more sight seeing on our last day here in Sedona!

Such a beautiful place...

We found a yummy place for breakfast...Wildflower Bread Company!
And the view was not to shabby either!

We found the most adorable little store tucked away in Sedona.
The Hummingbird House

8/15 -Vacation in AZ...Day 3

Day 3 was full of shopping, eating & sight seeing!

Shopping in Uptown Sedona

Our friends told us to eat at The Enchantment in Sedona. Wow, the food really is as incredible as the views!

The Enchantment

We enjoyed chasing the storms through the mountains!

8/14 -Vacation in AZ...Day 2

We got a wake up call from Julie's Mom this morning at 7am...she forgot about the 2hr time difference...but it was worth it! Julie's sister, Michelle, had gone into the hospital the night before and would soon give birth to our adorable nephew Rex just after lunch! Can't wait to get back and meet him!

It's hard to describe what we saw at the Grand Canyon...still in awe! Hopefully the pictures will tell the story...

In His hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are His also.
Psalm 95:4

Yikes! Ok...we really didn't realize how close we were to the edge until we looked back at our pictures. Now it makes sense why people were looking at us like we were crazy!

Come and see what God has done: He is awesome in His deeds toward the children of man. Psalm 66:5

8/13 -Vacation in AZ...Day 1

The surprise was a success!

For Carter's 30th Birthday in June, Julie surprised him with a vacation to the Grand Canyon! He tried to go in college 4 times and was never successful, so Julie wanted to make it happen for him! She planned the trip back in February...saved her money...and surprised him on June 19th, the night of his Birthday party at Willie's! He had no idea! So fun!!
Enjoy the pics!

We flew from Dallas Love to Phoenix early Wednesday morning. Our first stop was to see some good friends of ours, the Borinstein's! They just recently moved to Arizona...we had the joy of serving at Prestonwood with them for many years. We had a great time catching up and enjoyed our breakfast at Paradise Bakery!

What a beautiful drive through Arizona!

How Great is our God!

Arriving in Sedona, AZ where we will be staying. Before checking into our room...we walked around a really neat little village in Sedona, Tlaquepaque, where there is shopping, art galleries, and dining.
