Carrie! I love it!! I know I haven't made much effort at all to keep up with you guys, but it's so sweet to see how the Lord has grown your family and I loved seeing all the photos!
Great re-cap and photos! I'm so glad you did this, isn't it fun to look back?
So, who's in Waxahachie? I have a good friend who lives there. Cute little town. :)
My inlaws and sis-in-law and her family. We go there about twice a year. It is cute!
Loved it!
Still wish it would have included a move to the other side of the world so we could hang out with you guys!
The church is changing here, the pastor left in October.
So now they are looking for a pastor!
