David, Daniel and Peter were so cute helping carrying stuff to her room.Paul, Thomas, and Dad did the real work, but don't tell the little guys! :)
This is Abby with her roomate, Haley.
The little guys found lollipops (intended for the freshmen!) and rewarded themselves for all their hard work as movers.
Doesn't this sight just make you want to you cry?? It's Dad's one last shot after we said good-bye and she walked down the sidewalk away from us! So sad!!!! :(But, it's all really good, too. We're so proud of who she is, the choices she's made, how hard she's worked and what we know she'll become. It's just bittersweet!
So, on the homefront, we're ready to settle into the new routine that fall will bring. The house is basically unpacked and settled and everyone starts school Tuesday. I think we'll all welcome getting back into that routine. We might still sneak in a quick run to the beach (the beaches on Lake Michigan are beautiful and just 30 minutes away!!), but the focus will definitely be changing.
For those of you praying for the sale of our home in Tuscaloosa, please continue! We appreciate you agreeing with us for God to take care of this - and soon!!!
Thanks for checking in!!

Glad to hear you're settling in (Abby, too). I'm glad you've got this blog so I can "stay in touch"! I'm really looking forward to Saturday's seminar with the Ellards! BTW, Shannon Gray remembers Stan Ellard when he was at Grace and before he was married... boy that goes back awhile, doesn't it? LOL Enjoy the beach... Elaine has some great sunset pics over Lake Michigan! She went to Warren Dunes this summer. Your boys would probably love rolling down the dunes. :-) "Talk" to you later.
We miss you all so much!!!I hope things are going well in the new town. Congrats to Abby. This will be such an exciting time. Tell the family hello.
