Life has been full here at the Smith family headquarters, it is definitely and different season. We have had lots of fun, opportunities to extend grace, tears of grief or disappointment, sweet days of rest, and busy ones. God has taught me so much in these last months. They haven't been easy ones, but where stress and grief and sin did abound, grace abounded more (Romans 5:20). God is good.
At the end of July, I was the church counselor for our junior aged girls at camp. I had a fantastic group of 7 girls with me, including Ella, Leah, and our cousin Kate. The camp week was a blessing as I was able to mentally rest and catch up with friends at camp.

| Such an awesome group of girls! |
Mom and I have done a great deal of traveling to my grandmother's in the last month as we have assisted her in some dietary changes. It has been a lot of computer work, meal planning, and cooking, but it has been wonderful to have extra time with her and Mom.

Last weekend our family had our yearly vacation with Mom's family to eastern Kentucky. We rented cabins by a lake and enjoy the weekend fishing (my grandfather's favorite activity), having Sunday service together, playing games including a boat race, visiting, and eating. =)
