Over 1,141 in 7 Days

Can anyone guess why the strange title? Well, with family in town we have packed in a lot of activities. Greg, Sara, and the Gwynns arrived last Saturday. Here's a breakdown of our week. Sunday we celebrated my parent's 40th wedding anniversary. We presented them with a gardenia tree (which they wanted) and cards, yet kept the BIG secret until Thursday night. Monday we had a Memorial Day cookout at our house; Tuesday we enjoyed Cypress Gardens; Wednesday we visited Lithia Springs; Thursday we went to a vintage clothing store in Ybor City, had dinner at our house, and revealed the anniversary surprise (All of the Hewitt children contributed to a 4 day/3 night trip to Ruby Falls, Tennessee since we couldn't afford real rubies for their 40th! We secretly collected cards/gifts from family and friends as well so their entire trip should be paid in full.); then Friday night we took in more of God's creation by watching the sunset at the beach. What a week!

So, if you haven't guessed by now, the title is reflective of the number of pictures we took. Are you surprised? We've tried to summarize the week with some of our most favorite moments, faces, and photos. Thank you in advance for putting up with a more lengthy slideshow this time.

Jessica,

It was so great to see you even if it was only for several minutes. Isn't being a new mom great?! Thanks for keeping me in your prayers as we have shared burdens over the years. It's wonderful to see how God has been working in your life. Please keep in touch.

Shutterfly doesn't love me as much as you think. I think I have paid for only two of the eight or nine books we've created. We wait for the FREE books!! We have one more free one to redeem by the end of June. It sure is fun to condense memories into a digital scrapbook of sorts, I must admit.
