Eric and Lisa

Well, it's been about three weeks since I've updated this thing. There's been a lot going on:

-- On July 9th, we had Ian dedicated at our church, Evangelical Community Church here in Bloomington. My parents came down for the event, as did Eric's parents, Rob and Anne, Mamaw and Papaw, and Eric's uncle Keith and Aunt Vicki. We had a great time with all the family.

-- On July 13th, Eric turned 27! He got a leather tool belt from me, a Goo Goo Dolls CD from my parents, and money towards NCAA Football 2007 for PS2 from various family members. The rest of his birthday money, he'll put towards whatever comes up that he wants.

-- On the weekend of July 15-16th, we went up to Michigan for a Parham family reunion (family on my mother's side), and then down to northern Indiana to Eric's parents lakehouse to hang out with his aunt and uncle some more. Uncle Keith, who is a Lt. Colonel in the US Army, is likely to be shipped out to Beirut, Lebanon sometime in the next week. This had been planned long before all the mess started between Israel and Hezbollah, and we've been hoping that he wouldn't have to go, but it's looking like it's still a possibility. Keep him and his wife Vicki in your prayers.

-- On July 20th, Ian turned exactly three months (thirteen weeks) old.

-- This past weekend was our first free weekend at home since Ian was born -- can you believe it! We've been doing a LOT of travelling, and a lot of family has come to visit us as well. It's been nice to spend so much time with people that we love, but it was also nice to have a completely free weekend in which to fully relax.

That's about it! We're quite happy and content with life right now. God has blessed us so richly.
