Countdown to Take Off

We are boarding a bus in Starkville May 10th and heading to Atlanta for a 2 day briefing with students from all over the southeast going on a summer missions project to Salerno, Italy; Rome, Italy; Durbin, South Africa; Argentina; Paris, France; and East Asia. We will fly out on the afternoon of the 12th with 32 students. This is the one of the largest international summer projects in Campus Crusade history so we are anticipating watching the Lord do some incredible things. Pray for our family.. especially the boys as we bus from starkville to atlanta- fly from atlanta to chicago- chicago to rome- and bus from rome to salerno. Pray we make it with our sanity! We are really excited that the Lord has called us to return to Italy once again. Already He is showing us daily how he is providing for us and keeping us safe. That helps calm all our fears and anxieties. Check back as this will be the main way we share what is happening while we are there. (You can see this tends to be a summer blog instead of year round)

Week 2 & 3 in Miami

We have had a busy couple of weeks as the students have arrived and things are in full swing. Turner has been in the pool everyday and is getting more comfortable. We finally made it to the beach and he had a blast playing in the sand and throwing rocks in the water. It has also rained every day! In fact, it flooded the street outside our window. Here is a picture of me at 12 weeks.. starting to show.

Miami - Week 1

We have had a great week in Miami! It has been an interesting adjustment for all of us from our life in Starkville to living in a downtown Miami highrise. We have had a lot of meetings this week in planning for the students arrival. We love the other staff that are here and are enjoying having great quality time with turner since this will really be the last time its just him and us.

On our way to Miami via Orlando

We spent 6 days in Orlando with the Davis' on the way to Miami. We had a ton of fun! Our car was so packed that we barely had room for Sterchi... hope we can fit Turner in on the way back! Turner spent most of the time in orlando in the pool, following Daisy around, and playing with KK and Bob-o. Also Sterchi got a summer haircut and t looks like she lost 2 pounds! We had a great time!

Itsy Bitsy Photography

I am starting to test the waters of child photography. I have always loved taking pictures and after I had Turner I loved taking them of children. I have been learning a lot lately that has helped in my understanding of how to take decent pictures. Here of some of my most recent shots. Let me know what you think! Angela
