laughter and tears

This was a sad weekend, yet we found times to smile. A friend from high school lost her husband in a car accident this weekend...these things make you think, that is certain. My heart goes out to these families, and prayers are being said around the world for them...I am certain they will feel God's arms in their greatest time of need. The weather was gloomy this weekend, but Chad and the kids still managed to work on a project outside. Our old fence had seen better days, so it was time to give a little mini-upgrade to something that didn't blow over ;-) Charli enjoyed getting to help, and Harper enjoyed getting dirty!

we had lots of soccer time! I think I took about 50 pictures of her, and she has the same form in each picture! she loves soccer...hopefully she will enjoy it just as much when she has to follow the rules this fall!

red cheeks! she insisted on wearing long pants, it was so hot out!! the kids were bright red after a day outside!

she got to put several of the screws in, so this was truly a father/daughter project! it was cute!

she thought it would be hilarious to put Harper's pj's on! the pants are great capri size...we might be onto something!

he tried to run away before church...and tries each morning too! he opens the patio door and just takes off!
