Well this was an expected and very unexpected week all in one. Lets start with the good because God is so good. This past Sunday Joelle followed Christ in baptism. In July, at our Vacation Bible School, Joelle really began to understand sin and God's good love. She has been asking about 'becoming a Christian' for over a year now, and until ...

We’ve got a 4-year old!
Well, our littlest little turned four last week. He had been anticipating his birthday for quite some time. He decided on a Spiderman party a couple of months ago and asked where his Spiderman cake was approximately 6,000 times. He checked the mail several times as if it was going to come through the postal service, ha!His ...
Christmas :)
At this point I am 9 months late to posting, ha! But, let's back track and talk about what Christmas was like with Israel home!First of all, I'm sure he had not a clue what was going on. He hadn't been home long and our house had red and green EVERYWHERE. Sparkly lights. Presents Galore. Big Fat Man with a Red Suit. ...
The 1st Day of School
Today was a pretty big day in the Lemons' household.This little guy started preschool today! He has been talking about going to school for weeks now, so he woke up and immediately wanted to get dressed in his school clothes :))) And Joelle is officially a 2nd Grader. I can't even believe that my baby girl is old enough to be in 2nd ...
Our Last Days!

We love it because it's entertaining and delicious! After breakfast we headed to the beach before we got dumped on with quite a bit of ...

We found our way back to the same beach the next day so that this little guy could play in the sand...While these two went scuba diving!Give the kid a ...
Maui: The Road to Hana
Saturday was the big day... The Road to Hana! Jared and I made this journey a few years ago and I had a lot of car anxiety (for the first time ever). I was NOT looking forward to it this year, but decided that it's just something we had to do over again so that the kids could see all of the different stops. Jared planned for us to ...
Maui Part Two!
If I'm going to be completely honest, my days are getting mixed up here! It's this island living that's turned my brain to mush!!!We drove to Wailuku for some of Julia's famous banana bread. That drive is not for the faint of heart... very curvy and narrow!! BUT... the treats and drinks she has there make it all worth it!I mean, ...

Chances are I will fall behind again... life gets busy around here!Our family is on vacation in Maui. It's one of our very ...
