Grady's lines

"Mommy, shoes on!!"

"Look- there's a shoes on!"

 this is Grady's way of saying the word shoe. He has always said "shoes on" instead of saying SHOE! It makes us laugh every time. 

Also---he loves the show BLAZE and loves saying ready, set, go. It's fun to watch him count before he jumps off the stairs, or the dock, or whatever... He's so proud of himself. 

A few weeks later...driving in the car and Grady says to me, "you love me so much mommy?" Man that struck me.
"I sure do buddy. I love you so so much. More than you'll ever know."

It's pretty phenomenal how love can change a person's life.

Somerset Beach Preteen Camp---1st timer!!!

Can't even explain how excited I was to have Ellie go to camp. Not because I wanted to get rid of her, but because I was so proud of her for doing this. She was pumped, I was pumped for her. I was so anxious to see what God would do/teach her/ show her at her first camping experience. It was hard to say goodbye and I worried about her for 4 straight days...but...she rocked and she loved it. :)
