When in situations of stress we wonder if there is anymore to give. We can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed. No one was foreordained to fail. Let us remember that we were measured before and were found equal to our tasks. When we feel overwhelmed, let us recall the assurance that God will not over-program us; he will not press upon us more than we can bear.

Three Peaks Camping Trip

Lily the next morning... she was a mess! :)
All the super cute kids!
Lily and Mommy!
Lily and Daddy
The happy couple! :)


Yesterday morning a good friend of ours texted me saying that they were planning on going camping at three peaks (which is literally 15 min away from our door step) that night and we were invited to join their family. We had really only gone camping once this whole summer so we decided it would be a good end of summer activity. We got up there about 7 that night put up our tent ate some left overs, s'mores, and some goodies. Then we just kicked back and relaxed while the kids played and picked off all of the berries off the trees and played in the sand. It was such a fun night to have with our good friends and it was good to be outside for a while. We thought that the sand would be a good place to sleep, because we assumed it would be soft... not so much. But I've had much worse! All in all it was a quick trip but a whole lot of fun! Lily got dirty and we didn't care! hehe

well luckily we let her stay up until she about fell over so her sleeping through the night wasn't the problem, and I took a pillow to help with the pregnancy problem. :)
