I didn't fall off the face of the earth. Really. You don't want the list of reasons I am SO behind on blogging. With two jobs on the burner right now, plus school and marching band starting up, not to mention four kids and LAUNDRY...there just aren't enough hours in the day to do all the blogging that goes on in my head. I'm working on it...I really am. Most nights, though, I just pass out from sitting still too long and wake up, realizing once again, that I didn't get any blogging done. So here are a few pictures to keep you coming back...
Love this picture...it's SO Caroline!
Okay, love this one, too...my son takes the plunge
into 12 feet of water!
More photos on this adventure later...
Definitely laughing at this one...
Abby has been taking riding lessons this summer...
Huey is one stubborn horse...
Locked his heels right at the gate to the practice ring...
Mindy has spent a lot of her summer at marching band...
This photo was taken at their post-band camp
performance a couple of weeks ago...
I'm pretty sure you can see these shirts from space...
You have to take a couple of minutes, too, to watch the video below. The last couple of weeks have seen two major TV appearances by the Chapmans, one on Good Morning America and one on Larry King Live. This week, the feature article came out in People Magazine. I'm amazed, but not surprised, by the faith and testimony of this family. I'm sad for them, but I'm encouraged by the hope upon which they stand firm. I do miss, as I'm sure they do, the days before the loss of Maria. As I was thinking of what to call this post, I remembered this video blog post by SCC back in March. It was actually recorded the day after we saw him in concert and met him backstage. I love this side of his personality. The kids and I have laughed our heads off every time we've watched it. But today, even as I laugh, I pray that God will continue to bring healing to this precious family, enough that he and his family can laugh with a light heart, once again.
Pause the music player at the bottom before playing the video.

So glad to see you back in the land of blogging. I've been meaning to call you to make sure you weren't in space checking to see if you can indeed see Mindy's band shirt...

Your kids certainly keep you on your toes... you are one busy, busy Mom!! (I bet a great one too!)
I don't know how you do it... you need a "Super Mom" t-shirt!

I love your blog... I am going to have to steal the whole last half and repost it on my blog! You summed it up very well and the video was great! Your kids look like they have had a full summer. Who's ready for school to start! WHOO HOO!
