We’ve been camped out at Stone
Mountain for the past week enjoying the activities and getting ready for a
birthday for my soon-to-be 3 year old son. I say “soon-to-be” because we had
his birthday party about a week early so we could celebrate while we were near
family. Sadly, due to sickness, some of the family wasn’t able to make it.
While our celebration was small, just as in show business, the festivities must
go on. That morning, we got his face painted, took the Skylift
(a cable car) up to the top of Stone Mountain to enjoy the view, rode the
train, and climbed the rope-stical
course. Enough to tire the little ones out so they’d take a good nap. It worked
great for Lily Anne, but Caleb was so excited about his party he had a hard
time falling asleep. I kept hearing him sing, “Happy Birthday to me…” while in
bed. When party time rolled around, we had a good time cooking out, eating
cupcakes, and opening presents. I think Lily Anne made my Mom walk a mile up
and down the hill at our campsite. After cleaning up, we headed to Memorial
Lawn to view the laser show and fireworks. There, we met some new friends while
waiting for the show to start. It was an exhausting day, but I hope my little
man knows how special he is to us and how thankful we are that God blessed us
with him. XOXOX
We are also grateful to the men and women
that serve and have served our country. This weekend is a great time to
celebrate with your friends and family, but it is important to remember the
sacrifices that have been made so we are able to do so.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Hug your friends.
Kiss your loved ones.
Thank a Hero!

Honor the Commandments.

God bless your learning journey,
