Update

it's been awhile since I posted - which just shows how busy summer's (and life) can get! Here are a few things that have happened the last month:

• Avalee turned one July 18th! We celebrated with a big luau party by the pool with family and friends.
• Avalee is now walking - she just needed to turn one
• we took the KidVenture kids to Dorney Park. we had a great group, great weather, and a lot of fun!
• We've been doing some idea tossing and brain storming for kidventure this year. This should be a very exciting fall when we kick back with our programs.
• Dan and I took a trip to Boston to visit grandma Eaton. We had a blast! there is so much to do there - Avalee loved it and it was great spending time with family.
• Our hot water heater broke while we were away - flooded our basement!
• God is really teaching us a lot - I've been going through some rough waters the past few months and feel God's presence all over me right now clearing the waves and just focusing on Him.
• John's been doing an awesome series on side effects - I'm still working on what's under the surface of the iceberg.
• Our student ministry went to lift camp last week - how awesome it is to hear so many teens come back with life change.
• I'm now 6 months along and going strong. The heat makes me feel very pregnant and I feel my feet getting swollen sometimes but those are the only things I can complain about. God is good!
