Saturday was a great day. We went to the park for a party called Familypalooza sponsored by the Family Life service at Seacoast Church. We then went to Boone Hall Plantation to pick fresh strawberries. Caden seemed to really enjoy being out in the fresh air. He went the entire afternoon without any reflux and that is a BIG deal. Sherry and I finished of this awesome day with a dinner and a movie while Grandma and Grandpa took care of Riley and Caden.
Sherry made and interesting observation Saturday of our life over the past year. It was a little more than a year ago that we decided to host a Preparation for Parenting class in our home. Sherry finds it interesting how we entered into this class thinking we would be able to help others, when in fact we have been helped by more people through that class than we could have ever imagined. That class, the others we have facilitated, and the entire parenting ministry at Seacoast has given us much more than an opportunity to share God’s word and minister to others. It has delivered us a group of God’s people with hearts of gold. We have gained some very good friends and grown in our own relationships with God and each other along the way. Oh yeah, we have learned some really great things about parenting from the Growing Families International programs. It is really cool to go into something like this with expectations of learning a little more about raising children to find that there is so much more to gain. Some of our greatest supporters in the past year have been classmates, other class leaders, and attendees of the classes we have facilitated.
Don’t forget to check out the latest pictures. I added two new sections of pictures today.
