The fourth

Before the 4th the whole family got to meet Ella Grace! (Sara sent me pics in this weird format). Max calls her baby Grace & Neveah can't wait to have a little girl to play with... she is always surrounded by boys.


We were going to Lewis Ginter quite a bit and love searching for stick man every time. We were inspired and made our own stick family and built a little stick fort for us & them to play in... Sadly stick boy and stick girl have since been murdered by the lawn mower :(




We spent July 3rd with our church family at our annual picnic & service... John is embarrassed by this pic. but I had to include one of him being so intense! Stop yelling at us John!


John also got to baptize Tess... so special!!!


John's buddy Luke who is leaving us to go be a missionary... I suppose if you have to leave us that is a valid reason.


Neveah loves her Brit!


Yes, Julia was the crazy adult that got in that lake with my kids. She wins the role of fun crazy aunt!




Started off the day looking really nice & this is how we finished!


Spent the 4th with a fabulous group of people who we love very much.




Max may be in love




The host/chef




I don't know when the Huizenga girls grew up, but we love them!
