Erik, Erin, and Elaina

I went to summer camp with Elaina back in June  We went with our church.  I wasn't sure what to think about it all....but, I had a GREAT time!  I had a group of 8 girls.  They were all so very sweet.  I loved getting to know each of them.  Elaina was in my group which was fun for us.  We went to Camp Fort Bluff which is in Dayton, TN.   I have never counted to 8 more times in my entire life, lol.  All week long, I just kept counting to 8 to make sure I had them all.  A selfie with the my 8  rising 4th graders Here they all are:  From left:  Elaina, Gracie, Daisy, Addison, Riley, Tatum, Ava, and Lucy We won the clean bunk award one day...they were super excited to get this trophy I will def go back next year...if it works with our schedule.  Our church does such a great job putting it all together.  It's very structured and organized (which I like) and full of fun activities.  So, I am looking forward to going again.

So, for those of you who have followed us over here to this blog site. Welcome!! I have been MIA to the blogging world for lots of reasons but mainly, it was getting too hard.  About a year and half ago, I changed emails which lead to lots of issues with my google accounts.   Basically, our old blog was tied to my old google account that did not store my most recent photos.  So, to update the blog took lots of time to transfer pictures, then upload them on to the blog.  Time I never seem to have. So, my solution.....start a totally new blog page that is attached to my current google account.  This way uploading pics is easy. Hopefully this means I can keep my blog current.  I talked about giving it up but bottom line is we LOVE the memories that are captured on it.   So, let's get started again. There is no possible way to catch up for almost a year of blogging.  So, let's hit the highlights of the past few months: Elaina started 4th grade.  She is still at Grace.
