Adventureland Blast!

Colin did everything from Infant Ocean......

to the Log Ride.....

he even wanted to ride the Outlaw Roller Coaster.......and yes he is 4.

Hannah (& Sandi) are secretly big truck lovers!

Everyone was winning prizes for Hannah (or else storing them with Hannah)

Colin and his cousin's Zach & Ashley love getting wet! Colin got the big waterfall. It was a blast!! Thank you so much to Zach, Ashley & Tracie for spending a fun day with us at Adventureland Park!!

Beautiful Bride, Mother of 2, Teacher, Farmer's Daughter and Wallpaper Hanger

Working with a smile on your face.........free.
Getting your house ready to sell........a few dollars.
Making your wife laugh at 10:30pm and snapping good shots.......PRICELESS!

Colin's First Kite Lesson.....He has the string all the way out!

LOOK, DADDY!!! I'm doing it!!!

Our Princess Turned 8!!

We thank the Lord every day for our little miracle, Hannah Mae! God gave us this perfect little angel (I believe) to teach us true unconditional love, patience and most of all.......selflessness. Afterall, we're all born with a huge dose of selfishness and we must put ourselves last and others first to truly see God's glory. Hannah, we love you so much, now and forever!! Mom, Dad & Colin

Summer Fun: On the Lake, 4th of July & Kolach Festival

There has been some fun in Cedar Rapids even though flood cleanup continues. Praise God for all the people receiving help through Samaritan's Purse, American Red Cross, FEMA and others.

Colin loved the inflatable slide and playground at the Kolach Festival. He really loved the fireworks. Thanks to one of my alma madder's Kirkwood Community College, Cedar Rapids enjoyed an outstanding fireworks display set to patriotic music on the radio. It was like other years in CR but in a different location. We found perfect front row seats at the top of the hill.

Anniversary / We Praise Him in the Storm

HAPPY 12th ANNIVERSARY TO MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE!!
We had a wonderful day - we spent it going to church, Granite City
for their awesome brunch & a supper out for 2.

Wow! June was quite a month. The Lord blessed us with a dry home through the devistation. We have so much to be thankful for. I am so thankful to Terry & Nancy for the "family reunion" (surprise welcome home party from Afghanistan). Lost Island resort was a blast! Terry took us out on his pontoon. Colin got to drive the boat and swim in the lake. Hannah slept. It was a great time relaxing with family at the lakefront home.

Your Grace is Enough

Great is Your faithfulness oh God
You wrestle with the sinner's heart
You lead us by still waters and to mercy
And nothing can keep us apart

So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise Oh God
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me...

~~Chris Tomlin

This song has been on my heart for a while now. God, you are AWESOME and your grace IS enough!! Love, your servants, The McDills
