March - June Update

Here are some pictures to cover the last few months. I bet you can guess the months I was sickest! Christy + flu + first trimester = not many pictures. Then take the same formula, subtract flu and first trimester. Then add salmonella and you know why June is short. We're currently dealing with a stomach bug with Luke. I've been praying for a season of health for our little family. I think we're due for one. Please join us in praying for this. Also, praise our Savior for keeping John so healthy! He continues to do a wonderful job in his seminary classes and will finish up his 3rd semester of Greek at the end of the month. I'm proud of him and know he must be doing great when a friend teasingly calls him the "Greek scholar." John is about to complete a paper this summer which he is excited to work on because it is the whole reason he wanted to come to seminary and study the Biblical languages, allowing him to interpret Scripture in its original text.

Enjoy our pictures!

Our first picnic of the season was in early March. We enjoyed lunch at a Holding Park close to the seminary and Luke got in some playground time.

April

Grammy & Pappy came to visit in early April and we had so much fun while they were here. Grammy brought eggs for Luke to hunt at night with a flashlight. He enjoyed this so much and we hope to make it a tradition for him (and Hadley) each year.

The seminary hosts a campus picnic for students twice a year. They have inflatables for the kiddos and the big kiddos. Its always a good time of fellowship and fun for all.

One of my favorite days...our first visit to Krispy Kreme. We had hot, fresh, delicious donuts. Luke and I had never been to Krispy Kreme before so it was a big treat for us!

Out of all the times we've been to the NC zoo, this is the first time we got to see the giraffes. Now I can finally believe them when they say they have a giraffe exhibit.

Reynolda Gardens in Winston-Salem
If you are ever in Winston-Salem, Reynolda Gardens is a must see. I LOVE this place. It is full of flowers, a vegetable garden area and a huge rose garden. We've visited here many times to enjoy the view.

Beautiful pictures!! I will be praying for you - this too shall pass. We had kind of the same issues (continually sick, not pregnant though), but are hopefully on the mend.
