Luke and Ruth Ann's First Day of School

Luke and Ruth Ann had their first day of school on Tuesday, August 30th! Luke is in Pre-K this year! I can hardly believe it :) They have loved going to school and their teachers are amazing. I'm so thankful that God has blessed us with a fantastic school year.

Baby Natalie

Natalie Claire Davis was born August 26, 2011! We are so excited for Nate's brother, Jon, and his wife Kristie! What a blessing :)

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Several weeks ago, Luke's Sunday School lesson was about Psalm 119:14, being fearfully and wonderfully made. He came home with a life-size drawing of himself and was so proud to show us how big he is. Ruth Ann enjoyed showing us too, even though her outline was not on the page. Anyway, at Luke's school, they have a bible verse for the month. Well, September's Bible Verse is Psalm 119: 14a. Notice that I included "a" after 14, because Luke was quite precise in telling me that it was 14a, not just 14. After I looked it up in my bible, I realized that he was correct, they had only worked on the first part of the verse. So, Luke has worked really hard on his bible verse and has memorized it. I'm so proud of him. Next time you see him, you'll have to ask him to tell it to you :)

The Dallas World Aquarium

My brother and his family came to visit Texas in August. It was wonderful to see all of them and hang out. We went to the Dallas World Aquarium and LOVED seeing all the really cool animals. Luke especially loved the sharks! Then we spent some time at Mimi and PawPaw's house and the cousins got to play. We had some really yummy food and the kids really liked the ice cream cones!! Thanks for a fantastic family day! Love you all!

Myrtle Beach 2011

We had a fantastic time at Myrtle Beach this year. The kids loved the ocean and the pool. Luke became a fish over the summer and really enjoyed jumping into the pool. Ruth Ann is very brave when it comes to the water. We had to watch her like a hawk - she truly has no fear! She LOVES the water. We were able to hang out with the Varley Family and their four kids. What an adventure :) Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for a super vacation!

Fourth of July

Here's a family pic from Fourth of July!

Luke's 4th Birthday

Luke turned four on June 28th! It was a wonderful birthday. He had a "tractor" birthday party, which really consisted of construction-type themes and trucks. It was fun. He had a few friends over to celebrate with him. They decorated construction hats, dug in the "sand" (dirt) for treasures, completed an obstacle course, and enjoyed yummy cupcakes and ice cream. Mimi and Pawpaw and Grandma were able to join us and help with the party, too. It was a fantastic time!
