Summer 2011 - Change!

Well...guess it's time for an update ... it's been 8 whole months!

Life sure has a way of changing course :) 

Both James and Beka were home for the summer -

 so great to have them both here and together for a few short months. 

 Special times!

Sibling fun!

 Fun in the sun...

 ...and water!

It was a summer of re-evaluation and re-focus!

After spending many hours talking, crying, talking and praying - decisions were made!

James decided not to return to CCM, realizing Musical Theater isn't what he wants to do...

instead focusing on earning money to be able to move to LA and pursue acting. 

We decided Beka had to return to Boston to pursue her degree in Musical Theater,

but decided both she and mom would have to get jobs to make that happen!
 

 

I finally got the coffee maker of my dreams and can now make exceptional espresso! 

When displayed next to everyone else's machine...

this looks like an addiction problem :)

We all love our brew and just sitting, talking!

Before sending Beka off to school, we got together for a "revealing" party!

The Nelsons are having another boy in January!
Happy Days!

Our best shot of the whole gang...
this gets harder and harder!
