Thankfulness in...July

Thankful for...a big, gorgeous flower!





Thankful for...Allison's baptism!  It was so special to see her be baptized and to get to spend the day with family!

Scott and Ally - she wasn't very happy by the time he got to hold her!

Everyone from our family who was able to make it!

We stopped at this beautiful barn in Eastmanville on the way home.






Thankful for...our family car show!  We went up to Grant for the day and had our own family car show.  Lots of cars, and lots of pie too! :)

Thankful for...seeing our family from Colorado!  Jon and Dawn and the kids came from Colorado for a visit.  Dawn and the kids were able to come to the pool for an afternoon, along with Jodi and her kids too - the weather was great, and it was nice to catch up with everyone again.

Thankful for...summer storms.  I took about 300 pictures this night, trying to capture the lightning - totally worth it! :)











Thankful for...camping at the Conference Grounds in Grand Haven!  It was a beautiful week, and the sunsets were gorgeous! :)



















Thankful for...4th of July!  We went biking on the Kent trails, and then headed over to Uncle Bear and Aunt Joan's to hang out by the pool and do fireworks.




 Played some badminton with Jack too!
