confession: i have checked my email no less than 100 times a day since we launched the fundraiser for davis.
i am amazed by the generosity of others and elated to meet so many of you.
thank you so much for visiting and leaving such heartwarming and motivating messages for our family!


it has been a steady stream of summer activities around here.
swimming, lazy afternoons in the air conditioning, birthday parties and craft afternoons.

the real, suffocating heat has finally hit the deep south and we are all sweltering.
i left for work this morning at 6:30 and it was already 80 degrees.
i felt like i had wilted before i even sat down at my office desk.

so needless to say, we have been trapped indoors for most of the afternoons, strategically hiding away from the prime sun.

ben hates it. he would much rather blow bubbles on the porch or swing for an hour or two.
but he sure loves his toy story--buzz lightyear and woody are still his best pals.

the house is quiet right now.
josh is at a friend's and anna is off to a pool party.
ben is all comfy on the ottoman, content to watch a movie.

it rained a little bit ago and now the afternoon light is soft and warm and lazy.
i love how it glows in the dining room.

these past few days, and even more so today, i have been reminded of just how small i am, of how God weaves these wild lives of ours, and of how blessed i am to be a part of it.

i am witnessing His work and it is amazing.

you are a part of it too.
does it overwhelm you like it does me?

saying "thank you" just doesn't seem like enough...
