Lyons and Alstons and Bears, Oh My!

Our trip to Highlands, NC was a blast! We got to spend time with Travis, Melanie, Tate, and Miller as well as G-ma and Pop! My aunt Jane and uncle Kenny live up there for part of the year, so we got to spend time with them, too!

Neely started walking everywhere, and we even found a dog with the same color hair as Neely! If anyone ever wants to get away for a long weekend, Highlands is the place. The weather is great (in the summer), fun stuff to do, and nice places to eat and stay. We have been up there a lot starting as young kids, and it is always fun to go back!

Amen and Aloha!

We have been in and out of town and all over the place the last few weeks. Marcus stopped working on August 1st but has several weeks of vacation...so he will actually be off until mid-September. Can I get an Amen?

Unfortunately, Marcus' mom has to have triple by-pass surger on her heart. The surgery will be at Piedmont August 13th. It was originally scheduled for August 2nd, but because of an internal infection, they cancelled it literally at the last minute. Here are a few pictures of our time with Marcus' family and Neely in the pool in Hamilton on the non-surgery weekend. We would appreciate your prayers for his mom and her quick healing.

Also, we are headed to Hawaii in September, so we welcome tips from anyone who has been!

Aloha!
