It's been a few days since I last posted. The weekends go by so fast and have so much packed in them that I run out of time!

Shelby got home on Friday and had a friend from camp spend the night. We didn't get much "talk-time" in while the friend was here. I guess they were having "withdrawals" from camp already and didn't want to let the camp feeling go. She had a great time, rededicated her life to Christ and accepted a calling on her life for missions. If you think of her at times, keep her in your prayers that this will not all die out after a month or so and that her new commitment and calling be strong and real in her life. I don't doubt for a minute the genuineness of any of it, but I've also had those great mountain-top experiences at camp to only have them fade after a month or so. I know and believe that with prayer she will walk through this victoriously and let her light so shine among men! Today, Monday, she is at her first day at the Roanoke Animal Hospital w/a vet friend of ours. She's letting Shelby shadow her on surgeries and exams so Shelby was very excited about that!

Alix is back to a more normal routine after 2 weeks of camps at the high school. Now it's just cheerleading practice on Monday and Thursday mornings-whew! She had a good time at volleyball camp last week. Yesterday at Kayrene's baby shower, Alix was able to meet some of Kayrene's friends who all still play volleyball and one is a coach at L.D. Bell high school. Talk about some tall people! I was dwarfed tremendously in their presence!

That's about all for now. I'll share about my sister-in-laws baby shower in a separate post. Just wanted to pop in and say hi to those of you who are reading this!

Have a good one! We're preparing for the onslaught of rain again!
