Laurel, summer, etc.

I would love to see more photos of baby Laurel although I'm hoping to get to Sanford soon. Pictures are worth a thousand words, but the REAL thing is better! Summer has been busy, but not as busy as Joyce's, I sure! I enjoyed the trip to NYC and our long weekend in Hatteras. When I work at Edenton Coffee, my hours are usually in the afternoon so sleeping a bit later and having a second cup of coffee have been great! VBS was good with 18 - 3 and 4 year olds and I am recovering well. Pant, Pant! It's been fun watching ball & cheering on Amber and Clay this summer. Both have matured in their skill, in the field and at bat. I was especially proud of their coaches, Hannah and Jason. Both have been cool headed and encouraging with the players, although they would have liked to have thrown a few tomatoes at some of the parents on occasion. Much time and $ have been spent and one day the kids will appreciate it! Let's remember to frequently pray for all our family as we all go through our everyday challenges! - and let's remember to do it "first" instead of "when all else fails". :) There's so much we can't fix but nothing that God can't handle. I love you all.
