Rollins Campus

This is our home for the next month!

It's a dorm building with appartment sized rooms. There have been 4 couples along with 8 kids staying here. Today, more staff and kids moved in since classes are starting tomorrow.

A bunch of junior high kids also moved in today... I'm guessing for 'dance camp.' :o)

The weather is very humid. Today it rained lots. I just checked out the forcast on yahoo and it looks like rain for the next 2 weeks!

Caedmon & Lily loving their new double stroller! Josh and I are loving it too...

The arcitecture on this campus is beautiful.

3 more days and then off with 2 kids, 2 suitcases, & 2 much fun to Orlando, FL for new staff training. This last month has been a crazy one and definately rewarding. Caedmon is already 4 months old and weighs 17 lbs. He began eating rice cereal about 2 weeks ago and seems to enjoy every moment of it :o). He is rolling from back to front... and back! He is such a giggler and a great baby- so relaxed and easy going.


He loves his sister so much and knows she loves him too as he hears a "hi brother!" randomly throughout the day. Lily often tries to pick Cade up and then tiredly utters a "heavy!"


Lily is such a big helper. She is growing so fast we can hardly believe it. She weighs almost 25lbs. Her new words and phrases are "Lamby, where are you?," "Dadda, mowing?," "1,2,3,6,7,10," and "Me Me? Pa Pa? GG? Gampy? Nai nai? Ye Ye?" (her grandparents :o).


In early June Josh finished up his career installing cable. We are now on the support raising trail and enjoying it lots. We are still "church missionaries" at Seventh Street Baptist down town. Josh has been teaching Adult Sunday School from the book of Romans. He has an incredible teaching gift. He is also a wonderful and loving daddy and a patient and romantic husband (HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!!). We are on game 86 of our '06 Cribbage Tournament, Josh being ahead by only 1! In his free time (mostly at 4 or 5am) Josh enjoys catching fish.



The word that sums up my life lately is GRACE. God's grace. What a sweet sound. In August Josh and I will be married for 4 years!!! And it only gets better. I have also been enjoying learing about all these develpmental stages the kiddos are going through. God's creation is so precise, complex, and amazing. I just finished with a 5 week time of fellowship at our house called "Apples of Gold." What a sweet program. All 10 of us ladies experienced true friendship during the last couple months. I just love summer time and the fun it brings!
