Time to wrap up our summer… it was a great one.
First day of summer neighborhood party:
Family Camp – my parents joined us this year and it was a wonderful week:
Riding scooters to swim lessons:
Enjoying the lagoon:
Birthday #5 for Zac (cake decorated by the devoted Mr. Garland):
The San Diego County fair: Rachel wonders if this is too close?
40th birthdays for the gal in the obnoxious flower hat (running with good friends):
Personalized license plates (homeschool is back in full swing):
A beautiful smile. Here’s hoping we don’t have to do a second phase of braces in a few more years?
Hikes:
Disneyland and California Adventures:
And the beach:
Surfin’ Sarah:
Jumpin’ Josh:
We celebrated 12 years of marriage this summer… here’s a 7-min timeline slideshow we made for our kids.
Or you can see a little Summer Swim video or our Summer 2012 Wrap-Up. (Testing out my very novice video skills – much to learn!)
These photos/videos are just the highlights… there are also plenty of tough times… growing up isn’t easy.
Neither is parenting. (Big sigh.) I want it to be known that our life is not perfect and easy! We’re just not as inclined to photograph to difficult times, ha!
We’re depending on HIS strength (and grace!) every. single. day.
We’re grateful for you.
love, the Garlands
Jeff, Wendi, Sarah 9, Josh 7, Zac 5 and Rachel 2
