GA Trip!

About a month ago now, Lily and I flew to GA for a few weeks while Michael took off with the college students to Dallas, TX for the Passion Conference. Our GA trips always call for a lot of fun with family and great memories are guaranteed to be made! Of course I was looking forward to soaking up time with family, but I was also looking forward to just "being"! Since we live in an apartment (or tower as lily cals it...makes it sound so grand huh!) and don't have the freedom to just walk out our back door into a yard of our own, I couldn't wait for just that! Even weeks before our trip my heart would smile just thinking about getting to watch Lily roam around the grandparents yards, play in the dirt, gather rocks, pick flowers, examine bugs (some I like and some I don't like), and soak in EVERY ounce of the days sunlight until her heart was content...and she did just that and this mommas heart was warmed! Even though, yes there was a lot of the time we were "doing" things, but overall in the midst of the "doing" and the watching I got to be still, breath in a little deeper, and Know that GOD IS GOD...ahhh!!!

Of course as you know from previous post I'm really good at only taking a "few" (wink, wink) pictures on our GA trips! Some need an explanation, but for the most part I'm just going to let the pictures speak of our incredible fun for themselves! :)

The first set of pictures would definitely get the title: Lily & Leroy...BFF's!

Yes grandparents, don't worry, you are always at the top of the list of highly anticipated people Lily wants to see, but in a very close second is the beloved Leroy...the plantaion dog! My child is an animal lover! To be honest if she knew about those heart BFF necklaces, she would probably give the "best" part of her necklace to Leroy! But on the other hand, I am confident that Leroy would give his "best" half of his necklace to Lily! :) Leroy loves to fetch (which can drive an adult crazy to have a ball spit out on top of their feet every 5 seconds) and Lily gets so much joy over throwing the ball constantly...so ya see, they go together like "peas & carrots"! Just in the past few trips, Lily discovered that if she throws the balls on top of Granny's bushes that it's a whole lot funnier and entertaing to watch Leroy sail off the porch and land ontop of the bushes, so this has become her new favorite...throwing Leroy's ball in the bushes! Poor bushes and Poor Leroy! :)









THE bushes are just below the rail!
