Enjoying Summer


Levi was standing at the patio doors "telling" the men how to grill the meat at our 4th of July picnic yesterday. I think he really wanted to be out there with them doing the "man" thing.

Levi and mom in our patriotic t-shirts.

Rachel and her friend Julie at the fireworks. Levi and I stayed home this year.

Rachel and her two friends Aubri and Paige at church this morning.

Morgan and Rachel had fun jumping into the pool in different poses.

Unlike yesterday, today was a beautiful sunny day. We enjoyed going to church this morning as a family. Late this afternoon we got to go to a neighbor friend's house to swim in their big pool. Levi got to ride in the car floatie. He really seemed to enjoy it. I know that Rachel and Morgan enjoyed themselves. I thank God for this wonderful day!
