Old Town Soloist Draws a Crowd

There's nothing better than playing outside out at the Oak Street Plaza water playground in Old Town. And better yet, the Pianos About Town are still on display, so Hannah had the opportunity to debut her solo musical career featuring the song, "The Itsy Bitsy Spider". Naturally, she was a hit.

A Tribute to Don Juans

One of the highlights of our trip to Tyler was the Mexican food, namely, Don Juan's. We ate there twice in one week, and it truly wasn't enough. So yes, this is a whole blog post dedicated to us enjoying Don Juan's.

July Birthdays

While in Tyler, we were able to celebrate the birthdays of my niece, Kayden, and nephew, Andrew. I can't believe how quickly they and their big sister, Sydney are! We had a blast watching them open presents and sharing birthday cupcakes.



Only in east Texas do you need a giant knife to open toy packaging.

The Strout Wedding

We had the privilege to take part in Tyler and Samantha Strout's wedding. Ty and Sam were in our Oasis college ministry starting as freshmen, and we've been so blessed to watch them grow up. It was fun to watch them fall in love, and now we look forward to watching them grow together in their marriage. Chris officiated the wedding, and Hannah and I sat in the back of the sanctuary so we could discretely wave and make faces at all of the wedding party as they walked in. The best part of the wedding to me was listening to Chris tell stories about the bride and groom. I married the greatest story teller, and he so accurately described some of the greatest and funniest memories we share with Ty and Sam.

The great thing about doing life with so many great folks is catching up with them and celebrating even after you've moved across the country. Here are a few pictures from the rehearsal and dinner.
