All of these lessons are easy to take with us to the beach and even do in the car on the way! The girls really enjoyed doing lessons last summer and I love this structured time of our day that still keeps them engaged and learning through the summer!

Adventure Princess Camp

Nathan took the girls to Camp Greenville the last weekend in April for a two night camping trip! They had so much fun and all came back dirty and worn out but with memories that will last a lifetime!

Birthday Daddy Date

One of the most precious things Nathan started with our girls is daddy dates on their birthdays. He lets them choose the place and the activities...mostly turns out to be dinner and ice cream afterwards! This year, Claire chose to go to Arizona Steakhouse and then to Baskin-Robbins for ice cream. These pictures are of Claire ready for her date (purse in hand!) and Daddy giving kisses before they headed out. What a dear time for them both! I love the both of you so much and know these memories will last forever.

April Birthdays!

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Wasabi with the Armalys this week to celebrate Thomas' 6th birthday and Claire's 8!!! We had so much fun and count our dear friends as some of our biggest blessings! We love you Kristen, Steve, Thomas, Elizabeth and baby coming soon!!!!! :)
We are blessed to be doing life with you!

Claire's 8th Birthday

Okay, really?! Claire is 8?!!

We simply cannot say how much we love and admire this girl. Claire, we love you so much and are so proud of the young lady you have grown up to be. As you continue to learn and grow we promise that we will do all we can to love and support you. We love the way you love Jesus, pray for others, are quick to confess your sin, protect and teach your little sister, read aloud so beautifully, and love playing with others.

Claire asked to take a day trip to Atlanta to the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola for her birthday.

Happy Birthday sweet girl! We love you to pieces!!!!!
