Oh How We Love Summer!

Pool Day with Lifelong Friends

In early July, we spent a fantastic afternoon with friends having fun at Char's parents' pool...

Elise was born April 24... Congratulations Char and Marc!

And I was blessed to be present for the birth of all of these beautiful kiddos:

Isabelle, Elise, Kendall and Grayson

Sara and Charlene... you make beautiful children.
Thanks for letting me be a part of it. :)

while Jacob is at golf camp again this week (we miss you, Jacob! and we love you!), Micah is taking swim lessons

he has made great progress, considering he is very much afraid of the water...

smiling with his teacher, Joanne
what a brave boy!
