Well, spring has gone and summer has arrived. The temperature today reached the mid 90's...gotta love a hot, humid Tennessee summer! Although it is crazy HOT, Cole still loves to be outside and play. Over the past few months, Michael and I have wanted to get him a baby swing to enjoy. It's been hard because we don't have a tree to hang it from and just can't afford a mega swingset at the moment. Well, the Lord has blessed our family once again. Nothing huge...he just provides all that we need and even grants us a "want" every now and then :-) Isn't He AMAZING!?!
Michael was doing some business at a house last week when the home-owner mentioned that he wanted to get rid of his swingset. His children had outgrown it, and if he could find someone to haul it away, they could have it...for FREE! Michael came home, asked me, and we jumped at the offer. It is a
simple metal A-frame set with swings, teeter-totter, and slide. Cole isn't old enough for all the big swingset "gadgets" anyways, so this one is perfect! Michael picked it up the next day, put it together at our home, added a baby swing and Ta-Da...instant fun! 
We have also been blessed by our neighbors that gave us a sand/water table and pop-up basketball goal that their grandkids had outgrown. Cole especially loves the sand...it's like having the beach in the backyard (and I get to vaccum up sand all day!). Now all we need is a pool and we'll be set for the summer!Just remember...no matter how small or simple your request may be, make it known to the Father. He wants to bless His children more than we will ever know!

I'm sure our Coley is going to love playing on his "new" swingset. Looking forward to seeing pics. of the pool with Mom in it, too!
How incredible is that! I know the outdoor stuff will bring hours of fun. Yes, God truly is amazing and he does care about the little things. That has been a lesson that He keeps on teaching us. Great pictures!
