June and July in Pictures

So we were recently on Vacation at a Beach on the East Coast. We went with extended family and it was extremely fun. We had so much fun we did not want to leave, I have already been asked by Grace when can we go again? I was thinking oh my goodness child we just got back.

I am like her though, I love the beach too. :)
The beach was great, we got to play in the sand and water, go to an aquarium and see mermaids, ride on a farris wheel, go to some shops, and just hang out on the beach again. Except for this mommy getting sunburned on her shoulders only (go figure) we had a great trip.

Some pictures from our trip.

July has been full of fun. We had a great 4th of July celebration and Clifton and I got to explain to Grace about what the 4th of July (Independence Day) is all about, and why it is important. We explained it the best we could for a 5 year old. We have had a fun filled summer, and I hate to see it starting to come to an end with Grace heading to K5 in a month....where Has the time Gone. Hartley is already 3 months old and this summer has just flown by. We have been so busy Its just gotten away from us. We celebrated Grace's birthday in July even though her birthday is actually in June. Well I have been learning a lot myself this summer, as a person, mommy and wife. God has been doing a lot in my life. We have started doing devotions in the evening with both girls, and praying for them, for specific things not just generic prayers of "God Bless my friends and family" Actually specific things. It has helped a lot.

Well I must go now. That was just a quick update.

Love and Peace,
Samantha
