Where does the time go?! School is out!!! :) Marlee and Makenna both made the cheerleading team at their middle school, so they are officially cheerleaders for Cowan Road Middle School. I am so proud of both of them for working so hard at try-outs. They have practice every Tues and Thurs throughout the summer. Michael graduated from Kindergarten, without actually graduating. He was sick with a hot fever, ear infection and strep throat. Maleah, Mali and Lexi are all doing great as well. Daddy and Mama met John and I on the 18th in South Carolina and dropped Maleah, Michael and Mali off to visit for a while. Then on 24th, Jessica (she was in Atlanta for a Braves vs Yankees game) took Marlee and Makenna to the island too. So John and I have been alone for 5 days now :) We have really enjoyed being able to spend some time alone. Don't get me wrong, we MISS the kids terribly, but we have enjoyed our alone time. We have plans to drive up on the 3rd to spend the weekend and bring the kids back. Just to update anyone who reads this on how Mali is doing, she still hasnt grown much, she is now 8 months old and weighs just a little over 14 lbs. Back to John and I hanging out alone, we really have enjoyed being with eachother. We have kind of just lounged around, watched TV played eachother some Ms PacMan. We watched a really good movie, Fireproof. If you haven't seen it you need to.
Below is the lyrics to one of the songs in the movie.
Love is not a place to come and go as we please
It's a house we enter in then commit to never leave
So lock the door behind you Throw away the key
Work it out together Let it bring us to our knees
Love is a shelter in a raging storm
Love is peace in the middle of a war
And if we try to leave;
May God send angels to guard the door
No, Love is not a fight but its something worth fighting for
To some love is a word that they can fall into.
But when they're falling out keeping that word is hard to do
Love is a shelter in a raging storm
Love is peace in the middle of a war
And if we try to leave;
May God send angels to guard the door
No, Love is not a fight but its something worth fighting for
Love will come to save us
If we'll only call
He will ask nothing from us
but demand we give our all
Love is a shelter in a raging storm
Love is peace in the middle of a war
And if we try to leave;
May God send angels to guard the door
No, Love is not a fight but its something worth fighting for.
Cause I Will Fight For You
Would You Fight For Me
It's Worth Fighting For.
