Longer than a week

Yeah, so obviously we have been home from vacation for longer than a week, we have just been enjoying every minute of the summer until the Fall routine must start! We had a great time just hanging out and enjoying the wonderful weather. It is such a blessing to have some place for all of us to go together on vacation and for it to be at the beach as well! The kids spent most of their time digging and building an enormous sand castle right down at "our beach" as they like to call it because they just walk across the street to it. Everyone, especially Ryan and Allyson, were getting excited to think about how next year we'll have their little Samuel joining us in this tradition and hopefully soon after that our little one! We can't wait to finally meet our special little Russian nephew- maybe next month! We are grateful for all of our family and especially delight in seeing all the cousins grow up so close with eachother.

Here are some pictures of the highlights of our beach trip. They mostly speak for themselves...

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Psalm 19:1
