The Gentry Farm

This past weekend we experienced the Gentry Farm for the first time thanks to the suggestion of my sweet friend Ellen.
Sophi LOVED seeing all the animals (in particular the baby calfs), playing in the corn, riding on the hay ride and picking her own pumpkin out of the pumpkin patch!








 (This is our "we're going to the barn" dance!)






What a great way to celebrate God's beauty and His amazing gift of Fall (which we haven't seen for a few years!). Thank you Gentry family for your amazing ministry and allowing us to share in your precious farm!

Our New Addition

Josh, Sophi and I will be adding a new member to our family on, before, or after April 20, 2012! 

We are all so excited about this new addition to our family and look forward to his or her arrival in the new year!

 Here are some or our new ones first pictures:


I am 13 weeks now and while still dealing with the nausea am beginning to regain some energy, which is much needed in keeping up with the FULL of energy 2 year old in our house!

 


We would love your continued prayers as we move through this pregnancy and begin preparing to become a family of four!

My Precious 2 year old

Sophi,
Your daddy and I love you so much! We have so enjoyed watching you grow over this past year. You have such a tough exterior, fearing no one and nothing, yet your little heart inside is so sweet and tender.
Of all the memories we cherish from this last year our most favorite ones are of you learning about and falling in love with our God. We love listening to you pray and share your heart with God. We love hearing you sing songs praising His name. We so loved watching you learn about His greatest sacrifice for us in His death and shouting "He's Alive" in our celebration of His resurrection.
Our prayer for this coming year is that your love for our Lord may grow more and more and that you continue to learn how to worship Him with your life.
  

We thank God for choosing us to be your parents and giving us such a beautiful little girl, both inside and out!
Love Always,
Mommy and Daddy

The last month of summer

July was a month full of visitors for us here in Florida. It has been so much fun to spend some time at this beautiful place with people we love!
Lolly and Pops have been down to see us several times this month which is always full of adventure...and lots of good eating which we so enjoy!
Grandma and Grandpa (GiGi and Paw to their great-grandkids) came to see us for a week which was a nice treat. We don't normally get to spend quite as much one on one time with them when we visit in Atlanta which made their visit extra special!
Some of our soon to be neighbors in Nashville, whom we just happened to meet at a meet and greet dinner for the neighborhood, came down to visit us for a few days! Brett and Tiffany have a son, Bryce who is just a few days older than Sophi. We loved getting the chance to know them better and are so looking forward to being neighbors soon!
Graham and Ashley and Evie came down for our yearly Scobey family vacation. We were super excited to get to hang out with them and let the girls "play" (Sophi is not the best at sharing yet!) together. They are two very different girls but are really starting to enjoy each other!







And last but not least our sweet friends from California, Ellen and her kids Caroline and Harris came to see us! We had so much fun catching up and the girls picked right back up where they left off! We miss them so much and were so thankful to spend some time with them.




Today we said goodbye to our Florida home. We have made such amazing memories here this summer that we will always cherish. Thank you Lolly and Pops for giving us the opportunity to live here this summer. As we transition out of summer and into Nashville and the fall we anxiously anticipate all that God has in store for us in our new home!
