Together Herron

Meet the Olson family! This is Jerel, Mistie, Jered, Kaeden, and Xane. We had a great time this Saturday at Hollywood beach capturing some special family photos! Hollywood beach is the closest beach to us; only thirty minutes! The Olsons lived in Virginia before they moved to Tennessee so they were ready to take some family photos where they feel most at home;THE BEACH! They LOVE the beach!  Jerel is the lead pastor at our church, Desire Church. I have known Jerel since 2006 (I think) when he became our college pastor in Murfreesboro, TN. I always appreciated his heartfelt and challenging teaching! I loved going over to his house to hang out with Mistie and the boys, teaching Jered piano, and babysitting every once in a while. It has been a joy to get to know miss Mistie more! They only live about two miles from us so we have enjoyed getting together to go to the beach, have dinner, play games, swap coupons, have Bible study, and just share life together. This family is special

You get up on those back legs and bounce up and down!  You've been walking since October 21st and man, you hit the ground running ever since! We can't keep up with your speed! Sometimes, out of the corner of my eye I'm pretty sure I see you jump and skip even! We love to chase you around the house and play hide and go seek with you. We let you discover the house by yourself as we peek around the corner just to make sure you're not getting into mommy's lotion, trying to open the toilet lid, or eating toilet paper! You go to bed around 7:30 and wake up around 8:00 with cute little noises or short cries just to let us k
