So Behind...

Well, I better do some catching up or just shut down this crazy blog! Life has been so full these past couple of months, that we're lucky if we get 5 or 6 hours of sleep a night, much less find the time to sit down and do this. At any rate, it's been a wonderful time of celebration. Over the next few days, I'm going to post some pics of graduation, parties, baseball, Macy Li's going-on, our trip to the beach, and lots more. For now, I just wanted you to see a few from today at the pool. Macy Li has now mastered the infamous "froggy slide!" As soon as she lands into our arms, she bolts out of the pool, runs around to the stairs as fast as she can, climbs up and slides right back down, laughing and cheering for herself the whole way. She is not the least bit afraid of the water. I can't bear the thoughts of swim lessons, although I put all my 3 boys through shear torture from the "Swim Nazi" of Nashville when they were all Macy Li's age. The other day, Tyler said to me, " Yeah Mom, I bet Macy Li will surely never be subjected to the swim nazi, will she?!!?!?!" hahahaha!!! Smart boy.

Hey, Rhonda! Great to see some new pics and beautiful ones again, naturally. I can relate to the lack of sleep and all of the chaos, but hopefully now that summer is officially here maybe things will slow down a bit. I've been checking the internet for news of Beth from Moldova, but unfortunately the internet is down over there. Thanks for entertaining me with pictures of your lovely family. Looking forward to seeing the rest... Please pray for Beth and her fellow classmates as they make these beds for the orphans... that these children will see Christ in their faces and find the Father in their acts of love.

In Him, Lisa

Hey lady! I've been such a slacker on my blog, too. Life is always so much fun this time of the year. Looks like Macy Li has very little fear of the water ... that's great!!! Uh oh, I wonder if I went to the swim nazi? Mine was mean, too. I love Macy's bathing suit...is that Kate Mack? I miss Paige being little and being able to dress her up. I hope you have an enjoyable and restful few months of summer. Contact me when you want me to take some pics of the angel : )
Hugs!

Darling pictures and the ruffles on Macy Li's swimsuit are too cute. Enjoy the summer. Hopefully, the pace will slow down a bit now.

Why on EARTH would she be afraid of the water, with three big brothers for security?! I love the pics and it's obvious that she'll have no prob keeping up with them. Or is it them keeping up with her?! ;)
