So....

i realize that i am horrible at keeping up with this blog! but, this is effort number 2 and i am going to try to do a much better job! there is a ton to catch up on...a ton! so here goes...some with pictures, some perhaps not and then i promise that i will start making posts more regularly!!!!

when last we met, it was just july...it is now november!!!! oops!!!!

in july carter and i went to alabama for the 4th of july! the shoemakers, who are some of the best people in the world, my adopted family from college, and at one time my young life semi-leaders, have a lake house in alabama and invited us down for the weekend! we had the best time! it was nice to get away and just relax and take it easy! our cell phones didn't work, so that was even nicer! gingi got to go and enjoyed her first trip on a boat! she did great!

we went for a boat ride when we first got there and as you can see, ging loved it..i guess...take a look at the next pic...i'm pretty sure her defense mechanism was setting in and she was trying to go to sleep in an effort to avoid the ride!

all in all, she did great and loved it! she even got to wear her little two piece!!!!

okay, so i just started back and already i have to go...sleep is calling my name...i promise to post the next trip soon!!!
