THE LATEST: Sophia's 1st birthday is on Wednesday...CRAZY!!!!!! I'm heading to work in the O.R. Wednesday through Friday. It's hot and humid--but a blessed day nonetheless. I ran a 5K on July 4th! So did my older sister, Shelli...and she did it in a better time than me...WOO HOO, SHELL (I just wish we could have run one together)! My older sister is a phenomenal athlete so I am not a bit surprised :) Sophia's getting two more teeth to add to the six she has. She's also cruising furniture and attempting some free-stands. My teeth are almost completely straight and turned in all the right directions thanks to the chains they have on there--the past few weeks has been a bit painful in the mouth :) Daryl is working way too hard, but we're thankful that the Lord provides! And his hair has been growing again--he's had to shave it three times now!! Savannah sings almost non-stop throughout the day. Her songs bless my heart and my day. She also says parts of John 3:16 any time she opens a book or folded piece of paper :) If I say it with her, she easily gets the whole thing. We're also in the process of weaning her from thumb-sucking :( Its starting to really mess up her top teeth. Brayden started writing letters much to our surprise. B, M, S, and J are his favorites. I haven't pushed it or even sat with him for a "lesson", he just did it one evening at the dinner table. He's REALLY looking forward to preschool in the fall!!
Oh, and thank you a million times over for the phone calls and messages of love and prayer and encouragement. It has carried me (and Daryl) through the past few weeks.

Daryl playing his guitar on our screened-in porch during a recent storm--it was beautiful (the playing and the storm). We had a rainbow over our house!
