We’re Alive and Well

I never imagined that it would take us this long to post an update. The last few months have been a bit busy to say the least. There is so much to share, some things that were really difficult and some that were really fun.

I’m sure that most of you want to know how our family is doing, especially how Asher is doing. We’ve had a few months of “normal” life with two healthy children.

After a whirlwind spring this summer was very refreshing! We started off with Marty’s family in NC, celebrating his brother John, as he graduated from high school. Then we began our journey out to Colorado. The drive went smoothly as both kids tolerated the extended days in the car. Brennan, our little song writer, filled the time writing new songs or making remixes of old songs.

Although the weekdays in CO were filled with classes, studying, and homework, every weekend was completely free. Since we didn’t have a TV we were more intentional about spending family time together. We tried to get outside in God’s beautiful creation as much as possible. We hiked in the Poudre Canyon, and Rocky Mountain National Park (pictured above), played at local parks, pools, and gardens.

On our way back east we stopped in SC to attend a wedding for Erin’s cousin (Congrats Erik & Leah!) and enjoyed a short vacation with Erin’s family. The highlight of the week: Brennan learned to swim!!!

Asher had an AMAZING summer and enjoyed a significant amount of time being HEALTHY! He is off all his medications and inhalers! 8 of his teeth came in and he is eating some table food. He’s also talking baby talk all the time and CRAWLING all over the place!

Asher enjoying some black beans! If you look close you can see his lil teeth.

More fun stories and pictures to come as I do some back blogging from our summer adventures!
