there's always more...

Still combing through pictures, E sent us some of these....

This was Camilla's first experience with boiled peanuts.
She's a huge fan!

our best attempt at a family shot-

the cousins enjoying a mud bath

as for namesake's go...here is Ben with Ben

gainors come to town...

Our dearest friends, the Gainors, joined us at the beach for a long weekend. Brandy was my college roommate, and her husband Gray is one of Dave's best friends- I love the way our families blend so easily- We enjoyed some 4th of July festivities, even letting the big girls stay up super late to watch the fireworks off of the pier!

It was great to connect so much as what we hope may be our last summer together for a while....why? The Gainors are moving to south asia to work.

the little ones waiting for the parade to start (Celia has ears covered in anticipation for the fire trucks!)

I loved these sweet little boy snuggles from Sam

Aunt B and the middles

the Grays-
Samuel Gray Jr. (Sam), Gray (Uncle Sam), and Camilla Gray
We pray that Milla will grow to have a heart for the lost much like her namesake

Gainors we love you and we had a blast! I'm hoping we can do it again in 5 years!

always behind these days...

I guess it should just be par for the course- but here is my feeble attempt yet again to get us up to date.

Since I last posted, we've had quite a few adventures. Celia attended VBS at our church before we all headed to the beach for 2 weeks- it was so much fun. We also just finished a week of Backyard Bible Club in Lansdowne held at the Garrisons....

Here are a couple of pictures to capture our time!
