Pray for Cooper

Last week we got bad news that Kyle's cousin Melanie (who is more like his sister than cousin)that her little boy Cooper got diagnosed with ALL Leukemia. We are all saddened by this news but we know that God is the great physician. We were able to drive to Charleston last Tuesday Night and be with him and his family and Kyle got to go back down on Sunday to see them. Please continue to pray for Cooper and his family during this extremely hard time. If you would like to keep up with Cooper and how he is doing please visit his caring bridge site.

I was so glad that Kyle's Mom got to take Gavin and Madison to Cooper and Dixon's Birthday party a few weeks ago.

Madison Starts Dance

Madison had been begging for months to take ballet. So I signed her up for tap and ballet. She has been going for a couple of weeks and LOVES it! She is always ready for the next class. I hope she continues to enjoy it!

Fripp Island

We decided to head to Fripp for one last weekend at the beach before it gets cold. We really enjoy Fripp's relaxing atmosphere. Kyle was able to play golf a couple of times and we went out on the beach every morning and basically had the beach to ourselves. We were able to find a bunch of sand dollars so my goal is to do something special with those. The beach was so peaceful - even though Kyle and I both got stung by jelly fish.

Gavin and Madison's First day of 3 and 4 year old preschool

I can't believe how fast time flies. Gavin started 4 year old preschool (I can't believe next year he will be in kindergarten) and Madison started 3 year old preschool. They are both going 4 days a week Monday-Thursday and they both enjoyed their first week of school.

Landon - 4 months

Landon turned 4 months on August 22nd. I CANNOT believe how fast it has flown by. It definely goes by quicker with each child. Landon has been by far my best baby. He started sleeping 12 hours at night at 3 months. I couldn't believe it since Gavin has never slept 12 hours and Madison was one before she started sleeping 12 hours. He is such a good baby and has such a sweet spirit. I look at him everyday and realize what a miracle he is and how blessed we are that God protected him during my pregnancy. At our 4 month check-up he weighted 14 pounds and 6 ounces and was 25.5 inches long. He is defintely going to be the tallest of my three.
