Lake Gaston

After we got back from the beach, we went right over to Lake Gaston for some fun friend time. We enjoyed skiing, wakeboarding, surfing, and just handing out with our friends. We are so blessed to have great friendships here in Raleigh! BubbleShare: Share photos - Easy Photo Sharing

Beach Fun with Bec and David

Last week, we went to Gloucester, NC along the southern Outer Banks with Rebecca and David. Blue came with us and Polly had some "grandparent time". We enjoyed a great house on a couple of acres with a nice dock out to the water. One day, we took the ferry to Cape Lookout to enjoy the nice waves and beach. The other days, we went to other beaches in search of even better waves but found that Cape Lookout was the best of the week! David and Mike had fun riding the waves and Rebecca and Miriam did a combo of laying out/reading and joining the boys for some waves. We had a great time together and hated to leave! What a fun time!

This past weekend, we went up to Washington, D.C. to visit with Mike's family and remember Mark, Mike's brother who gave his life in Iraq for our freedom. We were able to attend Rolling Thunder on Sunday. Estimated to be around 350,000 bikers joined together for a ride from the Pentagon to the Vietnam Memorial Wall. What a sight to see so many joined together to honor our men and women who have given all!

As you celebrated Memorial Day with your families today, I hope you took a minute to reflect on the sacrifice of so many...and the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ who gave His life for you!

We're still alive...

Sorry for the lack of posts. I used to update the blog when I had free time at work and haven't been able to do that lately and the LAST thing I have wanted to do when I get home is get on the computer. Sorry...

Here's a glance at what we have been doing lately.

Boating/Wakeboarding:

Gardening:

And, just lounging around...

If THEY can do it, so can YOU!

Congrats to the "cool old folks" who graduated from language school today! Mom and Dad will be heading to their new "home" in Guatemala tomorrow.

Can't wait to be able to visit them there!

We're SO proud of you!!
