One season down......

We have our first T-ball season under our belt and probably a hundred more to go between all of the sports that Brody and Levi (and Aven) will play in their lifetime! Brody had such a great season and loved every minute of it. It was pretty comical watching twelve 4-5 year olds all running for the ball each time it was hit, playing in the dirt when they got bored, and sometimes forgetting where first base was! We loved watching Brody have fun, and he loved having his own little cheering section at each game. He always looked to make sure we were watching him and would wave when he saw his brother and sister cheering for him. Way to go, Brody! We loved every minute watching you play!

Home 6 months

HOME. 6. months. I love that word...HOME. This is definitely Aven's home now. We are her family. She loves her grandparents and our friends.  She is growing up so much! She is running around chasing her brothers now. She has 4 teeth. She is healthy....finally! No more cough and running nose thanks to figuring out her dairy allergy. She is doing great now going into childcare at church. She isn't scared of strangers anymore and may even let some hold her occasionally:) We love you, baby girl! We are so blessed to call you OURS!

Exchange Church Commission/Launch

Its been a year and a half in the making. Exchange Church. There is so much to tell, too much to write in a blog post. Years ago the Lord began laying church planting on Brian's heart. A few years ago, he began talking with the elders of our church about a local church plant out of our current church North Wake. In January of 2012, we entered into North Wake's Church Planting Residency along with 6 other couples. In June, we committed to planting a church with the Martin Family! Exactly one year later (May 19, 2013), we were commissioned from North Wake Church along with other families to plant Exchange Church in Rolesville! North Wake has been our church home for 10 years and we will miss everyone so much! We are so excited to see what the Lord has for Exchange Church in the Rolesville Community.

Our official launch date was June 2nd, 2013. We are meeting on Sunday nights in North Wake's building as we get established as a church body. In October, we will be launching at the new Rolesville High school!
