Soaking up Summer!

We're a month and half into summer 2016 and so far it's been the best yet!  We've been having fun at the pool, the girls have been riding their new bikes all over the neighborhood, they've been making new friends at summer camps and Vacation Bible School and we've just been soaking up this summer as a family of five before our little baby boy blue joins us at the end of the year!  

Summer Fun at Kanawha!

Daddy's turn too!
