Memorial Day Weekend

The holiday weekend brings lots of family to our house.It just happens that most of the kids in our family were born near 3 day weekends so we have enjoyed being able to get together to celebrate, laugh, play, and enjoy our blessings. The birthday girl the morning she turned 7...
Rushing out the door to Carter's baseball game. Yes, Mimi is sitting in a Britax car seat!! Told you they can fit anyone!
Grandpa arrived from work in VA in time to see the game and surprised Carter...
Love that Mammy got to catch a game. She loves baseball and her great-grandchildren- the perfect combination...
Julia loved her basket full of clothes for Samantha...
Opening her presents from Mimi and Grandpa- new riding boots and a week at horse camp!
Belly laughs over breakfast...
Constructing the towering rainbow cake...
Cousin time...
Reenacting battle scenes...
The chase is on! Carter and Julia versus Grandpa...

Yummy pizza after baseball...
Love family time and being able to be together and just do the normal daily life things. My dad was also a huge blessing helping with the kids as a I started a new job at the end of May.

Arts Evangelica: Swan Lake

Every year, Julia's dance studio puts on a ballet for it's company and pre-company dancers. They rewrite the story to make it a God-honoring testimony. It is always an amazing night of music, ballet, art, and worship. This year was no different...
 The dance company warming up...
 Tribute dances from the past 20 years...
 
 Julia's teacher, India, as the mother swan...
