Erin turns 15

Well, Friday was a big day around here. Our beautiful daughter, Erin, turned 15. She is full of life and energy and a joy to us. It is so hard to believe that she is growing up. Our little tom boy has blossomed into a gorgeous young lady who loves the Lord and loves life. She is as active as a child can possibly be, filling her life with sports, church activities, school activities, friends.. and if we are truly lucky... we get squeezed in once in awhile :).


Her birthday was no different then the other days of her filled summer. She started off the morning rising early (6:00) to go to Band Camp. She was at Band Camp from 7:00 - 3:00. We picked her up and came home so she could rest a few hours before taking her out to dinner to celebrate her birthday. Immediately following dinner, she joined up with her soccer team for an overnight outing. She was up all night, only to be picked up at 7:30 for another day of Band Camp.

We are truly blessed to have our little girl. Happy Birthday baby girl!


On another note, Mark and I celebrated our anniversary. What a wonderful day we spent together. He surprised me by taking the day off and arranging for the little ones to be watched by Mamaw and Uncle Paul so that we could have some time together. It was so wonderful to be alone for a little while. We are truly blessed to have an incredible marriage. God's hand had definitely been upon it. Mark is my best friend. He treats me like a princess... everyday... even 17 years after we have been married. He is the most amazing husband I could imagine.
