Chloe the party girl

My birthday party

We had a party at my favorite Mexican restaraunt, Lorenzo's, for my 36th birthday. Kinsey brought a karaoke machine, and while not many participated, I believe it will be an annual event. Start practicing now on a song for 2009!

New post

My sister blogs. She writes things. I guess that is a big part of blogging; the writting. Me, I cut and paste pictures. I know that no one really wants to read what I write, they want pictures of the kids. They want adventure. They want smiles. Words- we have plenty of words. Every now and then, though, I think I should write something.

My friend Sam has been back and forth at the hospital for a month with his four year old son Max (www.maxmiddlebrook.blogspot.com). I love them, and am so thankful for friends that have dealt with this in such a wonderful way. His wife Shannon is awesome, the way she has dealt with this. Chloe has prayed for Max every day, and it humbling seeing that.

I have really been contemplating the pace of life. It moves so fast for me. Chloe turned four this summer, and it went by so fast. Court will be done with school in two and a half years. Devyn is crawling, and it seems as if she was just born. She is nine months old on Monday.

I have spent my life trying to take care of others. I love serving and helping but don't want to miss the next few years. Please pray as I try to embrace the pace God wants for me. I don't want to get ahead or behind. Is this blogging? Dani, let me know.

Wrapping up Summer

So it's been a busy summer for the Archers. We traveled to the East Coast (VA, MD, NC, DC). We had weeks of cheer camp. Devyn started crawling. And now school is starting!

Summer Girls

Courtney is easily Devyn's favorite family member. Chloe wants to be America's Next Top Model.

Back yard

We get baby deer in the back yard every summer. Chloe wants to feed and pet them, but they usually stay about 30 yards away. The blue cones are protecting the trees that have been planted.

Some pictures just need to be shared.
