Our Month of July

This past month has been a hot one here in Texas. We've had a lot going on and a lot on our minds. Here is a little recap of what we've been doing:

4th of July Weekend

Kevin's parents came to visit us this weekend. Eliana loved seeing them. We couldn't really do much outside because the temperature was over 100 degrees each day, but that just meant lots of playtime with Eliana. Kevin and his dad grilled one night and the food was delicious!

July 12th & 19th

Kevin was asked to preach at a church east of Fort Worth near Canton, Texas. It's a small country church and we really love the people. They have asked Kevin to consider becoming the Pastor, but we believe God is calling us in a different direction. Meanwhile, we enjoyed venturing out to part of Texas we hadn't seen before. Eliana has done great on the trips. We're so blessed with such a good baby girl.

July 15th - Eliana turned 6 months old!

No, we didn't throw a party, but instead she got more vaccinations. She handled it ok, but she did have a temperature and was quite fussy the rest of the day - can you blame her?!

July 31st

Today we said goodbye to our very good friends Tim and Jill McPherson. Tim and Jill are very special to us as they have been our friends and neighbors since we moved here 3 years ago. Tim and Kevin were accountability partners during their first semester in Spiritual Formation class back in 2006. Now Tim has become the Pastor of a church in Brownsville, TN. We celebrate with them in this new chapter of their lives, but we will miss them so much. Thankfully, most of their church are St. Louis Cardinal baseball fans, so hopefully they will come to appreciate that which Kevin and I have loved our entire lives.

August

August is now here and Kevin will be starting classes again very soon. Taking the summer off has been a nice break for him, but now he has to get back into the study mindset. Pray for him to stay focused and motivated. Thanks!
