Golf Clinic Day 3

Jackson had a great time at golf clinic this week. He learned lots about golf and made lots of new friends. He was the smallest one there, but really impressed the coaches. He was one of only five kids that made a hole in one in the putting contest. We were so proud!

Golf Clinic - Day 1

Jackson is spending this week working on his golf game. He is attending a Golf Clinic at Big Daddy and GiGi's. He is having lots of fun and is really excited about the big Putting Competition on Friday.....Who knows? Maybe he will win!!!

Exciting prayer needs!!!

Hello everyone!

I hope that everyone has been enjoying their summer. We sure have been having lots of fun and staying very busy. School starts soon for both boys and they are really looking forward to it! Jackson starts in August and he will be going to the public Pre K here in Thomaston and Cason will continue at the Methodist Church in the Pre K 3 class. I will be working at Cason's school a couple of days a week, too.

Over the last few years we have really seen God's hand working in our family. He is truly making changes in all of our hearts and we are encouraged each day to see what He has to teach us. This summer we have had a great opportunity to serve as a family in a local community ministry and God has really been working in all our hearts! We are writing this email to ask for prayer and to seek encouragement from family and friends as we God continues to reveal His plan for our family,

We have told a few of you already, but we want to let the rest of you know that we are in the early stages of the adoption process. We both feel that God is calling us to adopt a black baby girl and we are dying to meet her!! We are gathering information and deciding which route to take, but it looks like we will likely do a domestic adoption through an agency called Bethany Christan Services. We are working on our application now and will hopefully begin our six week class in September. Our boys are so excited!!! Jackson has already told us how much of a helper he will be and Cason is thrilled to know that he will be a big brother, too!

Please continue to keep all of us in your prayers as we venture out on this new exciting journey! We also have some praises while you're at it... Cason is still doing good without his belly tube! On most days eating comes easy to him which is a huge improvement. He is maintaining weight and we are so happy about that!!! Jackson is doing well and has had a fun time playing Tball with the Pirates this summer. We love his inquisitive spirit and he has been asking lots of "spiritual" questions lately. Sometimes it is hard to explain your faith to a four year old, but we feel like he is understanding most of our answers to his questions. BG has moved into a new position as Rehab Director at the hospital in Thomaston. We are excited about the change and looking forward to the seeing what God has for him in this new role!

We love y'all and appreciate the Godly examples that you are to us! We know how faithful you are in prayer and it means a ton to us to know that you are lifting us up! Please let us know how we can pray for you, too...Thanks!

NO MORE BELLY TUBE!!!

Cason was getting out of bed on Monday morning and accidentally yanked out his G-tube! We called the doctors and they said that we could leave it out since he is responding so well to his feeding therapy. We are all sooooo excited to have this gone! Please continue to pray for Cason as he works to eat and drink so that we can keep this tube out!

Happy 4th of July 2010

The Madays spent the weekend with us to celebrate the 4th of July! We had lots going on with 4 extra kiddos around. We all had so much fun!!!
