Time for an Update!!

I see it's been almost two months since my last post (how awful!) . . . obviously blogging hasn't been high on my list of priorities. I have a ton of pictures to post since lots has been happening, so I'll mainly post captions and go light on the commentary. And, since this blog tends to center around Shayla and what's happening in her life, you'll find most of the pictures have to do with her. (She's the center of our lives so I guess that explains why she's the star of the blog.)

Time with Family & Friends
We've been blessed to recently have Ben's brother and family move to our area as well as another family that has three children. We've enjoyed being closer to family and Shayla's circle of friends has increased. One evening Ben and I took all of the kids and let the parents have an evening out. We had our hands full but it was fun!

Also, in the last couple of months we've been able to get together twice with my parents and Scot, Amber, and Allison--once at my parents house and then last weekend everyone was at our house. Lots of fun--time just goes too fast when we're all together!

Vacation to Smokey Mountains, Tennesee
We were able to take a few days and vacation with Ben's parents in the Gatlinburg, TN area. We had nice weather, beautiful cabin, and a fun, relaxing time!
