Time Together

This past two and a half months has been so exciting and fun as well as challenging and exhausting. We were praying that our family could get away for a day or two.. just us as a family. And Ashley's 20th birthday was a milestone which we really wanted to make special.. The problem being that Grady still is unable to work and the finances could not justify or allow such an extravagant expense. As a very specific and direct answer to prayer, a brother and sister provided us with a little vacation at a local hotel. There is no way we could have afforded it ourselves.. thank you friends for this wonderful gift and blessing for our family ♥ The kids had three pools all to themselves all day! It was supposed to rain the whole time but no, it ended up being beautiful weather! We came home encouraged, refreshed and oh, so grateful for some time alone as a family..

We visited this lovely resort: http://www.cahalpech.com/

This was the view from our room. Cahal Pech sits overlooking San Ignatio. The view is absolutely gorgeous, especially on a clear day

Before leaving the States, Mandy made these lovely suits for us

The special guy on the right is starting to remind me more and more of how the special guy on the left used to look when I first got to know him.. where do the years go?

We hadn't seen a smile like this in a month! Thank you Lord that she is starting to feel better!

Our birthday girl!

The workers at the hotel came out to see what or who was making all the racket! I think they were enjoying the children's (and their father's!) antics! ;)

Meet Carla, the sweetest lady in all of San Ignatio! I came downstairs in the early morning to grab a cup of coffee and ended up speaking with her for a half an hour about the Lord. Please keep this precious lady and her family in your prayers..
