Finally Home

4.5 months later, all three of these munchkins (my nieces and nephew) are finally home from the hospital.  Bates joined the girls at home last Thursday.

  

From left to right: Brooklyn, Gracie, and Bates 

These are some of their first pictures together and they bring tears to my eyes.  There were many days that they thought of having all three home seemed like a dream.  They are strong and healthy now and have fought hard.  They are all living examples of the Lord's work and faithfulness.      

Enjoying Summer Part 2

Some of our other favorites from the summer...

water and sand table + the hose

Caroline's first Braves game

face painting (or stars on your hand) + cotton candy were a huge hit during the game

Another game with friends

Friends spending the night 

Boat rides at the lake

This might be one of my favorite pictures ever! It's just so sweet of H and C to me.  

We put the flag up this weekend...never too early, right? 

Less than 2 weeks away!

 popsicles 

girl time

Being silly and putting on daddy's running socks

old friends in town

snuggle time

A few more pics to come.
