Spring Break!

Lily & Julie had fun hanging out with our JH and HS girls over Spring Break!

Hanging out in downtown McKinney on a beautiful afternoon!
1st time to wear her new shades!

Julie introduced Lily to one of her favorite places! Ambrosia! Love it!

Lily playing with her feet while Mommy strolls her around the square!

The girls have arrived! Let's party!

1st stop: Spoons for dinner...Fabulous!

2nd stop: Walls of Clay...Super Fun!

The girls picked out their pottery and got busy painting!

Our girls are SO creative!
Can't wait to take Lily back here when she can actually paint her own pottery!

Julie painted a tile for Lily! The butterflies wings are Lily's foot prints!

Lily loves hanging out with the girls!

D-NOW in AR & Vacation!

Carter spoke at Drew's D-NOW weekend at FBC Cabot, AR Feb.25-28!

The theme for the weekend was MOVE. We watched God as He moved through Drew's student ministry and changed many lives!

Jared Wood and his band led worship!

Lily learned a new trick when we got to AR!
She is grabbing her feet now!

So proud of herself!

J-Wood and Drew lovin' on Carter!
We had such a great time staying with Drew & Carolyn for the weekend!
Carter got to also preach Sunday morning for the worship service! God spoke so clearly through him, I could not take my eyes off of him! (sorry, no pics!)

Carolyn & Julie

We left AR Sunday afternoon and drove to TN to spend a week with Carter's family!
Lily did great with all the traveling, what a blessing.

We spent some time with Big Russ & Susan, who are expecting their 1st this fall!!

Carter and his Dad, Lonnie, before the traditional fish fry!

Lots of friends and family came for the fish fry and to meet Lily for the first time!
The Forsythe's had Lakyn just a few weeks after Lily!

Carter and Lily posing with Carter's parents, Lonnie (aka O'Daddy) and Kathy (aka Big Mama) before getting back on the road. We decided to stay with Drew & Carolyn again so we could have more time catching up and also to break up the long drive home!

We stopped in Memphis to eat at the Neely's original BBQ restaurant! YUM!!
Pat & Gina Neely are some of our favorites on the Food Network!

All the food was yummy...especially this dessert! It's called "sock-it-to-me cake!" It's Gina's Mom's recipe, so you know it was delicious! Gonna have to go back there just for that!

They have 5 restaurants now, but this is the original. So cool!

We had a blast on our little getaway, but definitely excited to be home! Lily especially!

Baby Dedication

Our sweet Lily was dedicated to the Lord in front of our family and friends at church this Sunday! The Bible teaches that we are to train up our children in the way they should go (Proverbs 22:6), so we commit to raising her according to God's Word, and loving her unconditionally as Christ loves us. We pray that Lily will see Christ in us and that she too someday will make a decision to follow Him!

What a glorious day that will be!

Here we are with our North Campus Pastor, Marc Rylander

Papa & Grandma

Some of our dear friends and family joined us on this special day!
Some of them that came that do not attend our church in Prosper were...Papa & Grandma, Julie's sisters family, Kyley, Chrissie & Charlie, and our neighbors Kyle & Laura!
