4th of July

Newfound Lake on the 4th. It was beautiful weather. A wonderful long day.
Bree came, and our friends, Jared and Jessica, joined us as well.

3rd of July

As the tradition has been for many years now, we spend the 3rd of July in Manchester. This year we were rained on for a bit but things cleared up just in time for the show.
Jamie, Real, Jessica, Jared and Bree were there as well.

JULY

I just don't have time to blog with many words. I know these posts have just been thoughtless, but that is all I can seem to find the time for lately. After the second week in July I have nothing planned, so I am sure I will have a bit more time for blogging. Here are some pics from the end of June into July.
Beach trip with family


Crab hunting. They had buckets full this particular day.

Ashley and sweet little peanut. The girls are starting to dress alike...they stay upstairs and search for things that look the same.

I love how boys play

Daddy

Hannah: "Mom, do you think that God could know more than Daddy?!"

Emma: "Save it for Dad, mom, he can fix anything."

Nora: "Daddy is the biggest and strongest man."


Girls ask me: "Mom, where is your daddy?"
Me: "My daddy died when I was 12, I don't have a daddy on earth anymore."
Emma: "Yes you do mom, God is your Daddy, and He is the best Daddy!"

Little Sis

My sis, Michelle, was up for the wedding. It was great to have time to hang with her again.

Wedding

My little cousin married on Sat. It was a beautiful wedding on the ocean, with perfect overcast skies and the rumble of thunder through the entire ceremony.


Congrats Steph and Eric!
