I absolutely LOVE this picture of Jordan and Nicholas. Nicholas thoroughly
enjoys boating, tubing and simply being at the lake!
For Jordan, I feel it represents that he is finally
free...free from all the negative things
and bullying that went on at his last school. Free to be the incredible person
that God made him to be; a
considerate, strong, loving, respectful young man who knows exactly what he
wants to do with his life and is
on track to do just that! Since moving home Jordan has gained 12 pounds!
He has reconnected with old friends and has made TONS of new friends at
school, on the basketball
team, at church and youth activities; he has returned to being the natural
leader that he is. I'm also proud that
Jordan is utilizing the difficult time he went through to encourage and
help others who
have or may be walking in his shoes; this is part of the healing process and
we couldn't be more proud of him
for doing this! I'm proud of him for being truthful, for not participating in
things that he knew he shouldn't
have, for standing his ground, even when those who should have been setting
a good example, chose not to.
I've very thankful that we are home, surrounded with friends and family who
are supportive, know and love
us and we feel the same about them! While we had an awesome church
where we lived, I can't even begin
to describe how good it feels to return to our home church and our incredible
pastor who is so very gifted in
teaching.
As usual I'm including a picture of princess in here too! We were invited to
spend the day with some dear
friends at their lake and it was a day full of laughter, talking and pure R & R!!
We had a wonderful time!
Gabriella enjoyed getting in the hammock with their son, who she refers to as
the "nice Jake" and loves it as
he and his family always enjoy loving on her and spoiling her; it's funny, she
has almost everyone we know
wrapped around her little finger..and I believe that's exactly how she likes it:)
