Summertime is for good reading.
Last summer my sister-in-law and I read the Anne of Green Gables novels and loved them. This year, she's reading the Little House books and I'm hopping around a bit.

I told you that I read Unbroken last month- a true World War II story- and was absolutely floored by it. It was so wonderfully written that I decided to try another book by the same author, Laura Hillenbrand. I never thought of myself as a sports biography type, nor am I particularly interested in horses, but I picked Seabiscuit. And surprisingly, (but not too surprisingly) I really liked it.

I loved learning about American culture in the 1930's, a little known side of Bing Crosby, how crazy jockeys were, and of course, the gripping story about this horse's unexpected greatness.

Oh, and today I stumbled on this article: 14 Books to Read Before They Hit The Big Screen. A few of them look like they could be good, so I might try one of these next!

Heyyyyy everybody! It's so good to be back with you!! So, if you follow me on instagram you might have an idea of what's going on with us lately, but here are some updates.

Hi, guys! Sorry I've been gone so long! Way longer than I had planned. Why is it so hard to sit down and blog in the beginning of June?! Every year I can't imagine that I'll be too busy to sit at the computer and at least write a short post. But this year, I actually have a really good excuse.

The day after we got home from our vacation in Washington D.C. (which was awesome! we've got a little video to show you guys soon!) Grant got seriously injured while working here at camp. He was on the mower and a rock ricocheted off a tree and hit him square in his left eye. For awhile that day, we were afraid he wouldn't be able to see out of that eye again. We've been in and out of doctor appointments over the weekend and the past few days, and are so thankful to the Lord that the internal bleeding has stopped and everything appears to be healing. Grant is not in pain anymore and although his vision is still very hazy from the trauma, it's slowly improving each day. He's supposed to lay low this whole week to prevent pressure building in his eye, which could cause a re-bleed. Hadley and I have been keeping the shades pulled and the bright lights off, and we're trying to take good care of him. We'd love it if any of you guys would pray for us!

I won't post any pictures, just in case any of you have sensitive stomachs when it comes to eye stuff (that includes me), but if you want to get an idea of what's happening in Grant's eye you can google "hyphema." :) More soon! Just wanted to give you a little update.
