HaHaHa, I can imagine all of you rushing to your computer to see who's having the baby....surprise, it's Lesli!!! We are all surprised to say the least. In December, their fertility specialist told them that there was pretty much no chance of getting pregnant. Isn't God amazing. He consistently reminds us that He Is the ominopotent in all circumstances. We have already had such a great spring/summer, enjoying our families. In May, Mom and Dad took us back to our beloved river along with the Talleys. We had a great time together. Jase got to float the river for the first time.
On the home front we have made some changes. Jackson decided one night to crawl out of his crib. He hit hard busting his nose and scaring us to death. Thankfully it was a great warning so Mark with his handyman skills changed his bed into a toddler bed. He is growing up so quickly.
Last weekend he also experienced another first. His first boat ride. 
Jase got to come along too.
He wasn't too sure at first, but...
It didn't take long for the wild child to kick in.
Cool hair...
Bo and Jackson (no pun intended)
Here's a funny shot. He fell asleep with his head propped on his life jacket.
Heading home after some time on the lake.
Just a cute shot taken on the porch of the lake house. We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and to have so many wonderful experiences. Thanks Pop, Nee, Beppie, and Bo. We love you guys. (and Happy Father's Day!)
To end my blog we have two very concerning prayer request. Many of you have heard that on May 27th Luke Sponberg passed away. Please continue to remeber Greg, Nicol, and Summer in your prayers as they are still grieving. Please also pray for their extended family and friends as they bear this tragedy along with this precious family.

We have learned that she has left the protection of the orphanage at her own will at the age of 15. Pray for God's protection and guidance.
This is Mark and Stacy (many confuse this picture as Mark and myself). This is actually my cousin Stacy. She was also a graduate of the education program. She and Mark leaned on each other many times throughout the program. 
After the last blog, many of you emailed me wondering what I have been up to. At the time, I couldn't say much, but I had been planning a surprise party for Mark since January. Friends from Louisiana brought fresh crawfish (mark's favorite) for a low country boil. Of course my close friends and family helped me pull this one off on old Curls.
Mark's buddies took him to Blue Ridge to fish all day so that we could surprise him that night.
This is Jackson's most favorite place...the sandbox. Just thought
CHEESE!!!!
I've also stay busy with my gardening. I have a small garden at the edge of the yard just for tomatoes, herbs, squash, lettuce and cucumbers. Small but convenient. 
Many of you probably also know that I am a physical therapist. I am currently working 4 days a week in the home health setting. This is a great set up for me-allowing quite a bit of flexibility, but also, God has allowed me to be blessed by so many people. I have the wonderful opportunity to develop a personal relationship with many of these people. Each day I am touched by people like Mr. Rollins- with their wisdom, kindness and thoughtfulness. My life is so full!
His attention focused elsewhere!
After the egg hunt we took the boys (Jackson and cousing Jase) to a neighbor's to have some cute pictures made.
How cute is he? 
We also have discovered that Jackson and fire ants do not mix. This is from one bite on his finger. Unfortunately Jackson has inherited many of our allergies. He survived, but we now keep an epipen close by.
We also have a praise. Mark got a job!!! He will be teaching 3rd grade at Tunnel Hill Elementary. This is a great school about 5 minutes from the house. My sister teaches 2nd grade at this school. God has blessed us in so many ways! His hand of guidance has been unfailing!
You can see that things quickly progressed!
Anna and Jackson (hopefully we can use this at the rehearsal dinner one day haha!)
The twins also had a big #1 birthday in January. They are both doing so well. Jackson loves to push their buttons!
This is some of the most precious time for me. Jackson loves "the bubbles".
Jackson in his "jammies". Each night is so special for our whole family. We have a routine: bubbles, night time prayers, and then I rock my baby to sleep-I know, I can't get rid of that just yet.
