Beach Bums

We enjoyed our recent trip to Grayton Beach... we haven't spent a week at the beach since our honeymoon! Enjoy the pics... hope you are having a good summer!

Jasper's ready for the beach!

And he loved the pool too!

Attempts at a family picture...

Graduation

Jasper loved his "puppy class" and looked forward to it each Saturday morning this spring.

Recently he graduated... top of his class!

Way to go, J-Dog! We are proud of you!

P.S. Never in my life have I felt so cheesy as I do right now, writing this blog. but who cares? My dog is the best!

February and March FLEW by, but such is life lately! Here are some pictures to tell our stories. I turned 27 in February... it was a great birthday. but unfortunately we didn't take any pictures. Below is a picture of the Phenix City Church League Basketball Champs... way to go, guys!

Here's one during our trip up to Atlanta. I guess Jasper thought we were lonely upfront and we needed some company.

Uncle Springer and William

It started snowing in Atlanta, and actually snowed on us the whole way home on Sunday.

Luckily there was still snow to play in when we got home to Columbus.

Then the Vikings came to Columbus to play in a baseball tournament. Will came down from Athens too... I absolutely love this picture of my brothers!

Mom and Dad checking out the Chattahoochee

David's final game ended at 12:30 am on Sunday morning, but was actually 1:30 am due to Spring Forward. I do love my sleep, so I was not too happy about this, but it did make for a cool picture of the team.

Trying to get to the bottom of the "Who's the Tallest" debate, sparked by Sara Beth Stout... and yes, David is on his toes... cheater!

Celebrated my friend Jenny and little Grant who is on the way... Jenny is one of my dearest friends from pharmacy school. I loved spending some time with her last weekend.

We celebrated Barrett's birthday last weekend too... here's a picture of Springer playing with Barrett's new pup Chloe. She is a Bernese Mountain Dog and was quite cute. She was so tiny that she looked like a little doll, but apparently she will be over 100 pounds before too long!

So April has already begun, and it looks to be a busy month too. Today Jasper graduates from Puppy Class, so hopefully I'll post some pictures from that soon.

Victory!

It's back. Softball season. I am happy to report that Springer is playing on one team this season, as opposed to two teams last year (which required four nights a week at the softball field... I can't believe we survived).

Last night the CrossPointe ShadowBoxers, led by Coach Cain, won their first game 25-10! It was really fun! Everybody on the team played great, and they seemed to play well together too. I am looking forward to getting to know new friends in the stands this season.

If you're looking for some fun on Tuesday and Thursday nights, come on out!

Sweeney

On our blog list on the right, you'll find a blog called Sweeney. Mike Sweeney is on Young Life staff in Rome, Georgia. We are thinking and praying for him and his wife Cabell right now. I read their blog often. Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to take Him at His Word, just to rest upon His promise, Just to know "Thus saith the Lord", Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him, how I've proved Him o'er and o'er, Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus, Oh for grace to trust Him more. That song comes to mind as I read their blogs and sense complete trust in our Savior.

I read a quote from Sweeney today that has struck me...

Sweeney remarked, “We confuse joy and peace with happiness and being comfortable."

Yes, we do. I do.
