To start off, I just want to say that my heart really hurts for the Chapman family. They have experienced the loss of their 5 year old yesterday which is truly tragic. For those of you who know Steven Curtis Chapman's music, know that he loves God and his family more than anything else. We obviously don't know them personally but feel like we do through his music and the bond of having internationally adopted children. We were blessed very greatly with a grant for Ashlyn's adoption from Shoahannah's Hope (the organization that the Chapmans started (named after their oldest daughter from China) to help the financial burden for families like us.) My prayers go out to the entire family especially their teenage son.

In other news...we have been busy trying to finish up school and baseball. (I am not ready for the reality that I will soon have a 2nd grader.) Today is Caleb's last day playing T-Ball. After tonight, we are officially done. It has been so much fun watching him and his friends try to play a game. Very fun.

This past weekend Nana and Potts got the opportunity to come and watch Caleb's only Friday night game. It was so fun having them come to our house and just hang out. It was a weekend where we didn't have much going on, so we had a great time just hanging out around the house and playing. We love getting to be with them and enjoyed our time so much. I will post pictures from this weekend when I can remember to get the camera out of the car and put the pictures on the computer.

The weekend before, our friends the Hammacks got to come and visit with us. (We celebrated Mother's day together.) All of the kids played so good together and they had a great time. Ashlyn especially enjoyed playing with Cason. We don't have the opportunity very often to spend friend time with them, so we took the most out of every moment. The kids played and played. They played outside, and inside, and in the water. By the end of the weekend, they were exhausted.
