the end of summer!!
Although college students are still three weeks from starting classes, we are done with our "summer schedule" and back up and running full steam! We have completed our vast amounts of travel (4,942 total miles traveled...not including air travel) and are back to our normal schedule. Erin has started babysitting a 6 month old every day from 7:30 to 3:30. I have been working full days in preparation for the Fall Quarter. Jackson has QUICKLY gotten back on a schedule of going to bed a decent hour and having another baby around (He is so good around babies...it is VERY affirming concerning the adoption and how he will do as a big brother).
Our last segment of travel consisted of Collegiate Week 2010 in Glorieta, New Mexico. It was GREAT not having to drive, as we all rode on a charter bus with about 50 other students and staff/families. Jackson did a great job and really enjoyed the freedom that comes with a bus. The conference was incredible and has had Erin and I dialogging about ministry and missions! Plus, we got sweet and much needed time with students.

2400 miles later..
So the past few weeks have been an adventure. Jonathan went on a mission trip to the Yucatan with our church and Jackson and I went to Georgia, Kentucky and Alabama to visit family. Jonathan joined us when his trip was over. It was a great time of playing with cousins and visiting with family.
It all started 3 weeks ago when Jackson and I picked up Shelby from Meridian. She came to spend some time with us and we are so thankful that she did. She is growing up way too fast and it was so much fun loving on her and having her love on Jackson. She is a great big cousin to him and he loves her dearly!
Jonathan left that next Friday and we left that next Monday. Shelby, Jackson, and I went to Georgia where we celebrated my dad's birthday and simply hung out. Mimi and Papa spoiled Jackson and he is still asking to go to their house.
We left on Thursday and went to Kentucky where Jackson got to play with his cousins. He loves them dearly and had LOADS of fun playing with boys! They play so well together and I loved watching them make memories that will last.
We picked up Jonathan on Saturday and spent a few more days in Kentucky before heading to Alabama to visit Jonathan's BFF and his wife and daughter. That was great fun and Jackson LOVED being around a baby girl! What a great big brother he is going to be! 
We finally made it back to Louisiana on Saturday but not after the break down of the truck and two police car rides. =)
It is nice to be back home for a little while and sleep in our own beds and not have to dig for clothes in a suitcase! But we do miss our family!!!=(
