August 2013

Wow!  This month marked 1 year in New Jersey!

Fusion participates in a youth event called "A Closer Walk" which is in Wildwood, New Jersey at Morey Piers... they put us in a nice hotel with a yummy gift basket and wrist bands to the amazing amusement parks and water parks - such a fun getaway as a family!

Then it was Daniel's 6th Birthday party!  Because our beach house was very small and the only back yard we had was a deck that overlooked the water and that would be very dangerous to invite a bunch of kids over, we had it at the church.  We were planning on having it in the fields that the church own but it rained:(  so we moved it indoors.
