There is a massive hurricane headed towards us at the moment, so I'm going to keep this short and sweet. We have a ton of things to do to get ready, and I am expecting to lose power for a few days....
We just got home from vacation in Myrtle Beach, SC with Derek's family and it was a MUCH needed break!! We have had so much going on here with the girls coming to stay with us and rearranging everything. Having some extra help for a week was SO nice!! (Thanks to Mimi, Pops, Lori, and Greg for the extra hands!) We spent a lot of days out on the beach, ate some delicious seafood, had a small birthday party for Ansleigh, and went to the Alligator farm; but most importantly, we got some quality time with family :) I picked out my favorite pictures from the trip and will post the rest to my Flickr account.

You can just see the love! This makes me cry tears of joy, Mandy! I don't know what else to say, but thank you & Derek and the entire Brown family for making Ansleigh and Alyssa so welcome into your family... What a fantastic vacation you had, and at just the right time! God's timing is always perfect!
