Lake Gaston Trip

We just went on vacation nearby to Lake Gaston with Andy's family. It was perfectly timed after several hard weeks of life and right before we dive into our first year of officially homeschooling. It's amazing what a good vacation will do for your soul!

Samuel was such a fish. He was fearless of the water and spent every chance he could swimming off the dock.

Lots of time was spent on the boat.




Goat Island


Lots of disc golf was played

GranRan celebrated his birthday on Monday. The boys were more than willing to help blow out his candles.

The kids adore Mr. Patrick (Julie's boyfriend). He is pretty awesome!

These two pictures say a million words about Andy and Annabelle and the special relationship that they share. Nothing more adorable than a man and his daughter.

Samuel blew us all away and went tubing with Andy. So proud of our brave boy!

Summer is officially coming to a close... now it's time to turn our attention to finalizing our school plans! It's going to be a great year!
