A Great Week

A week ago, we started our trip with a visit to B's family. Gehrig enjoyed visiting the farm with Pa & Daddy. He was able to...drive (yep, drive) the big John Deere, chase the cows, ride in the boat, and even catch a couple of fish. Not a bad day! Mommy visited with Mammaw & Pots while the boys were out.

Monday, we left for FCA Coach's Camp at St. Simons. What a time of rest and spiritual renewal! We met so many awesome families and B was so encouraged by meeting and spending quality time with other Christian coaches. The fact that he is not alone in his longing to invest in his student athletes' lives is a great comfort.

We are truly thankful for the opportunity to get away and spend the week as a family with others who desire to further Christ's kingdom through education and athletics. We are specifically challenging ourselves as a couple to learn more scripture and to invest more time together daily in His word. We are looking forward to starting FCA with a bang again in the fall when school starts and watching God work through it. Hopefully, the camp will become an annual tradition for our family!

During the breaks at camp, we were able to visit the beach (with Mammaw, Pots & Papa) and a water park. G had a blast!! Here are a couple of pics...the rest are on the right.

THE Family Reunion

Family Reunions.

For many, an obligatory event. For the Bournes, a joy.

A couple of weeks ago, we traveled to the 20th annual Bourne reunion in Virginia. Part silly, part sweet, all meaningful with stories upon stories behind each tradition and ritual. We are SO grateful for the experiences and memories that have been passed down and shared with us. We hope that we will add to them in the years to come and continue to share them with the generations ahead.


A special thanks to Uncle Bill who has been our Puds too...Granddaddy would be so proud of how you've filled his void in our lives. Our understanding of family is greater because of you.

Greer Elizabeth

We are grateful to report that our doctor's appointment went well today. The baby is doing great and measuring well. We were also able to find out what we are having...Gehrig wants to announce!

Here are a couple of the sonogram pictures of Greer Elizabeth! Greer is just a name that we like and Elizabeth is after B's Great Granny Tolley and other special women in both our families.

Braves Game

Pa gave Gehrig Braves tickets for his birthday, so we enjoyed the day at the park yesterday! (It was coincidentally Lou Gehrig Awareness Day at Turner Field.) Slade & his friend, Nug were also treating Bebe to a game for her birthday so we were all able to be there together. Here are a few shots...the rest are in the gallery on the right. Happy Memorial Day!
