Last week I spent time with Julie, Flynn, and Lara in the beautiful state of North Carolina. It was such an encouragement to get a glimpse of their life for a week; it's clear their heart's desire is to honor the Lord in all they do. I LOVED watching Julie be a mother - she is a wonderful one, and God has blessed her with a beautiful daughter!
Enjoy this week's pictures!
July 8: No picture today. :(
July 9: There is a science/nature museum near Julie's house, and she and Lara frequent it often. It is a great place to visit, complete with science exhibits and live animals. This little guy was pretty cute...and a little creepy up close, I won't lie.
July 10: Blueberry picking with Lara! She did a great job picking blueberries, but she then tried to put them down the back of her dress. She hasn't quite mastered the art of placing them in the basket. She will, though, I'm confident of that! :)
Another from the 10th: Mom and daughter enjoying the swing.
July 11: Before the evening service at church, we stopped for a treat at Local Yogurt. Peanut butter and banana - delicious!
July 12: Another shot from the science museum, where they have a butterfly house. This was one of my favorite things we saw there!
July 13: Sewing project. Julie is quite the seamstress, and we decided to try a new project while I was there! It went smoothly until the very last step. We had a hiccup at that point, which we attempted to correct for the next several hours. Sewing is hard work!
July 14: My birthday breakfast. :) Below is a picture of the beautiful meal Julie prepared.
July 15: The finished product, hanging in my room at home. This was the first day I carried it to work, and I love it!
July 16: Melissa, a coworker of mine, and her daughter Riley had me over for a birthday lunch today. Riley was in my class a couple years ago, and I love her! Her brother is taking this picture. He loved the sound my camera makes when it takes a picture, so he kept clicking...and clicking...and clicking...This is about the 40th picture. :)
ha! fun pic! i love you...melissa
