Summer Highlights

As these chilly fall days set upon us, we have been reminiscing over the fun and sunny Washington summer.. so many fun memories.. here are some photos that we took over the season....

The Children in our home fellowship!

Ashley and Amanda have fun with their Goldendoodle puppies

Grace works on her baby quilt with mama.. here she is learning how to pin squares together

Ryan and Mandy find a turtle on our road! Ryan kindly escorted it back to the pond

                             

Here Gracie is working through her fear of the sound of frying things.. for some reason it sends her through the roof to hear things sizzling on the burner. Daddy told us that she needed to start cooking with me to desensitize her to it.. it has really helped! Now if only she'll stop screaming when the washer spins and the weather brings heavy showers on the rooftop! :-)

Fun with some wax rope that Nana and Papa brought the children

Giving Gracie's baby a ride

Taking a walk (and obviously talking about something *very* important! :-) )

Grant with his special friend Paul, whose family came to visit for a few days

We are so blessed by our family and the wonderful times that we have.. May we never take for granted the precious days of our lives together... Our prayer is that we all grow closer to the Lord, more and more equipped to serve him, increasing in our love for Him and for others...
