Yes-- I am ashamed that I haven't posted in well over a month! Summer just has a way of getting away from me! Lots going on-- many things that take priority over my ability to just sit down and write about life.

Here's an update!

We headed to Disney the end of May/first of June. You always anticipate the kids having a breakdown at some point-- well-- it never happened! :) We had such a GREAT time! We hit ALL four parks and stayed from opening to close and Luke and Caroline were troopers! The hotel I found on eBay was beyond fantastic-- it is the only lodging on Disney property NOT run by Disney. It was extremely nice. We had a two bedroom-- it had a kitchen, laundry, etc.-- VERY nice accomodations. The best part is that it only cost us $550 for 5 days and 4 nights! This is SO much cheaper than staying on site with Disney. They have 1-4 bedroom suites, too, which makes it much nicer when traveling with a large group. They have two pool, a lazy river, miniature golf-- all freee-- and free shuttles to the parks. If you are heading to Disney, email me and I will let you know all the details! :)

A few days after we returned from Disney, Scott and I headed back to Orlando to celebrate our 13th anniversary! He had a meeting at the Ritz Carlton, so I tagged along. It was nice to get away and reconnect-- without the kids!

Also in June, Luke and Caroline made their debut as ring bearer and flower girl-- although Caroline balked when it was her turn to go! Thankfully the bride-- a good friend and former student-- didn't mind. It was also my first time to officially coordinate. It was fun, but not sure I would want to do it every weekend. The kiddos were down-right precious! Luke was so proud of his tux, and he did such a great job! :)

Our days have pretty much been spent by the pool! The kids love hanging out at the new YMCA pool or the neighborhood pool right by our house. It is a hard life! :)

ZOE also headed to the studio in June to work on our next project, Fearless. There are some amazing songs-- my favorite right now?-- Revelation Song. LOVE it! As usual, we are having a grand time together, and plan to finish up the last two songs tonight! Randy Gill has been such a blessing to the project this year. He has such a knack for the production side of things and has done an excellent job of arranging most of our songs this time around. It is the best of both worlds having Randy and Brandon working together.

SO-- such is my life-- my summer. Sorry that it has been so long since I have philosophized about the world and our spiritual conditions! Perhaps the Lord will send me some inspiration to share in the near future!
