Our week was a good one, with SMTI rehearsal, karate, physical therapy and sleepovers. We haven't seen much of Cole but he did finally make it home late Friday night and has been (forced) to spend time with us all weekend. Nice.
Friday night, my cousins Zane and Shannan, and their adorable girl Izzy, spent the night with us on their way back to Texas. Everyone came over for dinner and even though our a/c downstairs went out, it was bearable, especially to be able to spend time with loved ones that we don't get to see nearly often enough.
Spencer is crazy about Izzy.
Brad and Gigi.
Shannan, Gigi and Zane.
I LOVE having get-togethers at our house. Thank goodness Brad doesn't mind when I casually mention that I have invited 18 people over for dinner. I guess after 19 years he is used to it.
We are beginning another adventure and I want to share our news with you. We withdrew Cole from Arkansas Baptist this past week and will homeschool both Spencer and Cole. Probably at the end of August, the boys and I will head to Los Angeles, while Brad stays behind to work. Brad and I have talked, prayed and talked some more about this a long time and we feel we want to be able to give Cole this opportunity to see if life as an actor is something God has planned for him and for our family. Yes, it's scary and there are lots of uncertainties but we want to teach the boys that life is full of opportunities and you will never know if they are right for you if you don't try (this coming from someone who HATED any kind of change when I was growing up). We may be back in Little Rock in 8 weeks or 8 months. We honestly do not know how all of this will work out but we know that God has a plan that will be revealed to us. We would certainly appreciate your prayers.
"So I saw that there is nothing better for people than to be happy in their work. That is why we are here! No one will bring us back from death to enjoy life after we die."
~Ecclesiastes 3:22

WOW! What a great opportunity for Cole and really, for all of you. I'll be excited to read all about it. We may all be saying "we knew him when!" Prayers will be said for all of you!
