....of our last few weeks
(all pics from phone....fuzzy much....hopefully can get my camera back soon )
Our festive breakfast
on the fourth morning in July
We, err more like I was in slow-mo most of the day
....since all the dear little & big feet had left the day before,
from our delightful weekend with a side of T's extended family.
(was almost 300 feet!! :)
That night way past bed time, we headed to watch the always impressive light display in the sky
the littles jumped
as each one boomed..all ricocheting inside of us
I showed them how to oooooh and ahhhhhh over each one (:
we pretended like the display was celebrating Thane's life too
Thirty two years!!
We went ahead and celebrated again the next eve too
with his style of meal...
bowls full of Popcorn
& generous portions of Strawberry Shortcake & Vanilla bean Ice cream
Quite interesting....all the plates were cleaned right up (:
Orrin asks most nights to go camping...
hopefully soon he'll be pleased as punch
--Thane & kiddos washed & cleaned out our vintage Shasta last night
Time to take it for another spin
Thank you Lord for each day you give us with this Man
How we love him and need to show him more
Next up ...Fever came for 3 days...
& then brought
the bumps & grumps
(the Roseola rash)
bumps have left ....hopefully the grumps will follow suit
I kinda forget this stage...well the older two don't really help to discourage the shrill screams, the loud No's & the pounding on anyone/ anything too close...
redirect..redirect...redirect....
then just at the last
the Grin comes out
whew!!
we'll make it through (:

Hope your summers are/have been full of seeking Jesus
and applying what HE is teaching you through each experience.
