Waa, this is super-late! I had every intention of posting this album whilst in Vancouver. Yes, I greatly overestimated my ability to grieve and blog at the same time. More updates/stories about my dad's funeral shortly but for now let us take a trip down memory lane from what was the month of July. And when you are done here go visit my dear friend Barb at Praying for Grace, wonderful hostess of this link-up.

| ominous clouds signal the near end of baseball season |
 |
| he's ready for it to be over too |
 |
| Independence Day parade - we live a couple blocks away from the parade route so it's a yearly treat |
 |
| picking up candies for breakfast :-) |
 |
| goofing off with cousin Kelsey |
 |
| this is one of our annual favorites |
 |
| new this year |
 |
| the fire truck is always at the end of the parade - until next year! |
 |
| after the parade everyone headed to our home to celebrate the girl's 10th birthday |
 |
| flowers all the way from TX from her cousin Ivannah |
 |
| pardon the resolution - dark room, cheap cellphone camera. We took the girl out for dinner where the whole restaurant sang her a happy birthday much to all our surprise. I had briefly mentioned to our server that it's her special dinner not knowing they will do this. Very pleasantly suprised, we all were. |
 |
| I can't move this photo in the right order! This was also at the parade with some of the cousins. As you can tell this is a family event for us. |
 |
| and it rained towards the end |
 |
| sparklers at night |
 |
| last week of regular play |
 |
| I don't know what the baby was saying to the oldest but I love this photo |
 |

That's it for July, folks. See you next month.
It really was a busy month for you. Busier even than your pictures portray . I am glad you had the opportunity to go home. I'm sorry it was for such a sad reason. :-(
ReplyDeleteGrace definitely kept me sane. Thank you for all the prayers! Date night soon?
