July Wrap-Up

Well, another summer month has come and gone (almost). 

We attended a Joni & Friends retreat the 3^rd – 7^th and had a blast! I was asked to do the photography and loved being able to be apart of a great ministry while doing what I love – taking pictures! Overall, I took about 1500. Hopefully we will go back next year. Alex loved kayaking and Andrew enjoyed playing with his STM (short-term missionary), Eleanor. The boys also enjoyed the fireworks. 

John celebrated his 60^th birthday and Susan threw him a surprise party at Rock and Lois’. Alex lost his front tooth while swimming in the pool! The tooth fairy still visited him because he wrote her a note explaining what happened. 

Before he lost the tooth....

After he lost his tooth!!

A beautiful evening to end the day!

Travis & I had a “date-day” while Connie (babysitter) took the boys to a tractor festival. They really enjoyed the tractor parade and wooden planes she bought them. Alex liked taking pictures (wonder where he got that from?) Travis & I enjoyed lunch at Outback followed by some shopping in Traverse City.
