Enjoying Summer

ALL MAY PICTURES

My college roommate Vanessa had a baby yesterday. They named him Isaac. She told me how they chose the name... she said, "When they told me I was going to have a third boy, I laughed. Thinking about how my house will be so full of joy with three boys. Isaac means, "laughter," it seemed perfect." Is that not precious!

We did a big back porch clean up last weekend. Avi Joy loved helping spray everything down. Is there anything cuter than kiddos in bathing suits?
We set up our sandbox and have used it everyday. Its messy but fun. I am looking for more outdoor items, but might just have to bite the bullet and get some new things, I'm finding nothing at garage sales. This sandbox was a blessing from our neighbor's kids.
We had some fun playdates... 2 moms, 6 kids, 3 countries, it was wonderful!
Playtime at the mall with the Faulkner boys. And the mom's thoroughly enjoyed themselves too.
Now for something funny. We were recently at a wedding and while the kids are away the parents will play! We had the best time after the wedding taking fun silly pictures. The reason this one stands out now as humorous now is because of the picture below.
Not scripted pic, just taking b & w's of them playing. They sat down very serious, I took it, but didn't laugh about it until I saw it loaded next to ours. : )

Something good, yet convicting to think about...

"Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.

"Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Luke 12: 27-34

If you don't have one yet, get a water table. Target has a nice one. Bennett loves his.
