We spent a wonderful summer (and then some) living with my (Holly) parents while in transition between Texas and Tennessee. We were blessed beyond words as both my parents and Jonathan's mom gave us a much needed time of rest as they gave and gave and kept on giving to our weary family. Our time at seminary had been wonderful and very full but we were very ready to have the help of willing grandparents to love on our babies and yes, even us :). Jon Hudson was still nursing when we moved and not even close to sleeping through the night. Jonathan was jumping full time into his new role as Family Pastor at a local church. Jackson and Josie were doing their best to adjust to living without their beloved friends from birth in Dallas and finding new routines. I took some time off from working and we found the slower pace of West Tennessee was refreshing as the summer months past. OK, not really slower for Jonathan in his new job, but slower for the kids and myself....haha. For such a huge transition, our family was poured into by our new church family and our parents, grandparents, etc. How incredibly thankful we are for that precious time.

We spent several afternoons at the lake with some friends. The kids got to take their first boat ride and it was really nostalgic for me as this was the same water I grew up waterskiing on with my family.
Josie is my little water bug. She found her greatest pleasures in the baby pool in the back yard.
