This past weekend we traveled to Tennessee to visit with the other Gardins (Brad's brother Bart and fam). Our niece Aubrey was baptized this weekend and it was so exciting to see her take this step to follow Jesus. We got to visit with some people from her church and loved spending some time with Bart, Leslie and Brett as well. The boys and cousin Brett got along well, but Ryder followed Aubrey around all weekend and even said that he wants to be like her (this said during her baptism service). It was so awesome to spend some relaxed time with them, as they are moving to California very soon. While we are excited for them, it is somewhat discouraging for them to be so far away.... I would love to say we have kept in close contact, but busy-ness and life have gotten in the way on our end.....please pray that we can strengthen and deepen our connections with them despite the distance that will soon separate us. We will miss having them just 2 hours away!!
AND......for my birthday I decided I wanted to go and see WICKED...the Broadway adaptation of Gregory Maguire's novel about the witches of Oz......so very fun and a great night out. The music and imagery were fantastic and the story even better! The Fox Theater is one of my very favorite places in Atlanta..........A couple more photos for fun........
Ev in Bart/Leslie's tub; Brett at the butterfly exhibit (TN aquarium); Bart, Leslie and Aubrey; Ry and J downtown Chattanooga.
That's the scoop! More soon......Love to all! MG
