God is SO good! David and I feel very blessed to have had so much time with family this summer. It all started when Travis came home from college; then Allison, Kallie, Seth & Luke came home June 25th when Shane went to Africa; then Brian, Mary & Hannah came home the following weekend for a long weekend; then Shane came when he returned from Africa. Allison, Shane and the children left today -- we miss everyone already -- but are very thankful for the time we had with everyone. I am especially thankful for the few days Allison and I had alone to shop and have lunch - not only am I blessed with a beautiful daughter, but a wonderful friend.
(Luke LOVED picking blueberries -- Hannah looks on...we had a picnic with our extended family at Grandma and Grandpa's -- homemade icecream and all - it was great!)

This wagon only stops at Dairy Queen and the beach!









Sunset on Amelia River!



Is it a tourist -- no -- it's Uncle Lonnie!

Does Kallie have Papa wrapped around her little finger!
Luke LOVED the Fourth of July fireworks!

And the next big event will be Travis and Stephanie's wedding! Will keep you all posted!
