If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God,
then we will be a nation gone under.
(Ronald Reagan)
Mr. Ice man filling up the drinks
We're ready for a party!
Mom's art
Hello, Laci! We love you!
Caleb and Eliana are here, too!
And the P. family! All decked-out in red, white and blue
The great watermelon butchering
The sweet M. family
The pools are ready
Little Azariah doesn't know what to think of sliding down into that shark
Let's party!
Up to the top...
...and then it's time to fly!
"I'm not afraid of the big kid pool...I just don't want to show off" :D
Trying to stay cool
It's water time!
Glenys was looking very patriotic
Where the munchers hung out...and...munched...
...and talked
Look at those stud-muffins!
Life is always more fun when water is involved (and the kids have the hose)
Hi Josiah!
Ian and Caleb, taking a break
Eliana and Johanna trying to keep warm
The Deck = the safe zone where concerned parents looked on as their children ran wild and free
"I'm flying!"
Happy 4th from Margarete!
And hello from Lorry!
Smile!
Conversations
Hi, Tallon!
Let's dig in
Miss Ellie and her plate of goodies
Miss Amarisa, braving the slip 'n slide
Beautiful chaos
Miss Francesca and Miss Serenity, at your service
Miss Eliora and Miss Amarisa
Vanessa and Laci lookin' cute
Lisa and John-Mark, looking...cute? Nah, happy :)
We always love spending time with you, Mr. Conway!
The FAMOUS cake pops made respectfully by the one and only Vanessa
Dessert, anyone?
It's always the right time to have dessert
Yup
Mr. D. plays some nice melodies
Azariah tries his hand at piano playing
Look at you, Eric! Did you get any of that chocolate in your tummy or are you saving it for later?
Doctrine and Textual Criticism were on the table
Love chatting with you, Laci!
Eric is all cleaned up and ready for bed...or fireworks?
Dad: "Studies have shown that coffee has vital forms of nutrients for the human body"
Tallon: "Yeah, but no thanks"
Mrs. D. and her girls, always a blessing
Well, I didn't get any fireworks pictures this year...a firework is a firework, right?
But just to make some of you happy...
...BAM! Thanks to google search for this lovely image ;)
