Rob Dob & Whit Dob's Backyard Wedding Celebration with our Kiddos

We had an absolutely stellar time at {Rob doB and Whitney's wedding}!

But it was a grown-ups-only occasion (maybe that's part of the reason we had so much fun!), so Justus and Lexi didn't get to celebrate with them.  And they are super special to our family, so we decided to have a mini-reception to celebrate with the kids.

{My first giveaway ever} is almost over!  Comment by 11:59pm for a chance to win.

This morning at 5:30am I sent off Jeremy and the Senior Mission Team to Honduras.  He is leading the trip~his final youth responsibility.  It's strange to see this chapter of our lives closing.

But I'm so proud of him and I know great things will happen there over the next 12 days!

Jeremy,

I couldn't do it without you.

Nor would I want to.

I love you soooo much!

Father, and more importantly, Daddy to my babies.

I love how Lexi looks at you, like you hung the moon.

I love how Justus strives to be just like you.

I'm so thankful for the guys in your life who are walking this road of fatherhood with you...

Stephen, Ryan, Wes, Kevin, Chuck, Bryan, Andrew, Philip, Tim, Scott, among many others!

I know they are an encouragement to you

and that blesses our kids

and me.
