The Summer Cabin Memories Begin...

Ainsley's first fish of the year!
Ruby's reaction to big sister's fish!
Loving her new Barbie "Big Wheel!"
The Beautiful Pearl!
The Beautiful Pearl lost her 2nd tooth last night!!

P.S.:  I followed the posts that Steven Curtis Chapman's Manager Jim did on Marybeth's Blog all weekend.  What a blessing to know that in such a time of sadness, that this family is surrounded by so much love!  I was so happy to hear that her Memorial Service was a beautiful celebration of her life.  Geoff Moore, Michael W. Smith, Matt Redman, and a few other special friends were part of her funeral.   I have downloaded the song that Geoff sang.  It is called, "With Hope."  It is a song that he and Steven wrote 10 years ago for close friends that lost their child.  It truly is a song of hope.  Download it via, I Tunes, if you have the chance.  You are hearing SCC sing it now on my blog.  Once again, I am so grateful to be part of these Adoption and Christian communities that are lifting this precious family up!  I know so many of you, like me, feel a very special connection to this family.

The song is breathtaking and heartbreaking all at once. Thank you for sharing - I still feel such sadness for them but am reassured by the outpouring of love they are experiencing.

We have been thinking about the Chapman family a lot, and keeping them in our prayers.

Ruby looks like such a big girl on her bike!!!
