We have been busy doing all things summer. We traveled to Ellijay Georgia which if you have never heard about it don't be surprised. There is Nothing there but mountains in which there is a community of cabins that we stayed in with some of Joe's Cedarville roommates and their families. It was the longest the girls have spent in the car and did a wonderful job. We left around 6:00 thursday night and encouraged the girls to go to bed around 8-9. After fussing for way too long Mia (who normally sleeps in the car with no problem) got a pant change and we were quickly on our way again.
I already mentioned that it was in the middle of nowhere and after 11 when I climbed into the backseat of the truck to help Annie fall asleep Joe was trying to navigate us through small town usa into the middle of Nowheresville GA we finally made it to our desitination around 2:00 am. The girls and Joe slept until after 9:00 that morning which was a relief since you never know how the kidos are going to sleep when you are in a strange place.
Joe, Matt, Jay, PeteWe were looking forward to seeing everyone and meeting the children that we have all given birth to since we saw each other last. Joe's senior year he rented a house with 7 of his closest soccer friends and we have all kept in touch over the years. They are some truly wonderful godly couples and we enjoyed spending time with them catching up on each others lives.

Joe bought sparklers to celebrate the 4th when he was on a junk food run. Turns out fireworks are frightening for a 2 year old. :o)
We had a great time, we missed the Beall's and Belleman's immensely and can't wait to take another trip all together again soon!
