We are entering our last week of summer here in Virginia. The kids head back to school next week, and boy are they excited. From the moment we arrived to our new home, they were asking when school started. We officially registered them in their new school, which is a short walk away. We've been buying school supplies and making sure they have backpacks, shoes, and clothes to help them through. We're excited for them to meet some new friends and continue their learning adventures.
We've enjoyed seeing some of the sights in our new state. The nation's capital, Washington D.C., has been amazing. We've enjoyed seeing the monuments and getting back to nature in many of our area parks. Some of our favorites are Burke Lake Park and Hidden Pond Park. We also enjoyed a super hot day at Mount Vernon. We liked learning about our first President, George Washington. We even saw some cute black piglets! It was so hot, though, and we'll have to go back and enjoy a cooler day another time.
We had a fun time driving out to the country last Saturday to go peach picking. We were given peck bags and we filled 4 of them. Then we came home and made peach cobbler, peach jam, and we froze some and canned some. What a lot of work, but we'll enjoy the fruits of our labors for a long time to come.
Another great thing that happened this summer was the 8th birthday of our son, A.J. He was also baptized. Tami's mom and sister flew out and so did Jeremy's parents. It was a special time for him as he made an important decision to follow Jesus Christ. I think he'll always remember that special day.
