VBS!

One of our favorite summer activities is Vacation Bible School.  We were excited to be able to take our neighbors with us this year- Ella and Miller.  Kate wasn't old enough for the big kids classes but she had a blast in the nursery.  I really don't have that many pictures- only from the final day- because we were having too much fun.

I forgot to mention the three older kids went to our VBS in the morning and then Ella's in the evening!  They were definitely filled with God's love this week!

Ice and Washclothes

Either we have a lot of invisible bumps and bruises or our girls like some sympathy a few times a day.  We don't go a day without something hurting where we need ice or a cold washcloth.  And coincidentally- always at the same time!

Pool Time!

You can't have summer without some pool time in the yard with the neighborsIMG 2875

We decided to start the summer off right- with a family beach trip!

Great trip!  Thanks Erin and Tad for letting us rent your condo!

Summer of Crafts

For graduation, Aunt Sarah and Uncle Jeff have pledged to send Grace a craft every two weeks in the mail.  Grace is pumped!  The first one came this week

Butterflies!

The Easter Bunny brought the girls some caterpillars and we loved watching them grow into butterflies.  It was time to release them and they just didn't want to leave :)

Mother's Day

We don't usually see my mom on Mother's Day so it was a nice treat to have breakfast together before we all headed off to the airport.

Then Sarah and I treated ourselves :)
