Fall Getaway

This past weekend, Joe, Abby and I packed up the car and headed to the Upstate New York Fall Getaway on Seneca Lake. Each year, students on college campuses from Buffalo to Albany gather to worship God, grow in their relationship with Him and have fun together! This was the 6th year Joe and I have gone. Wow! Time flies. I can't believe I have been going since MY junior year in college. I love it there and I look forward to the weekend every year. This year was especially sweet because it was Abby's first!

As always, God worked in really cool ways. Both students and staff heard from the Lord this weekend. Not only was it a great time of ministry, but personally and for our family as well. I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with good friends (who also happen to be moms on staff). We would spend time together while our little ones played (or looked at each other) and then we would sit and chat for hours when all the kids were in bed. I love this stuff! It was just what I needed. I count it such a blessing that God has allowed me to serve Him in this kind of environment. It's fun to think about Abby and her little buddies growing up together.

Early in the morning everything was so peaceful and still. Perfect time for a family walk.

So Big!

Can we be friends forever?

Deanna was in Wildwood with us this summer. Abby loves the sweet songs Deanna sings to her.
