Now we're home!

Dave made us this fabulous table. Since we moved in to our house, we have wanted to get a table on our back deck, so we can eat dinner outside. The summer evenings are perfect for eating, and our back deck is always shaded by dinner time. It's perfect. And isn't the table beautiful? There are two benches, also!
Will loves all the "new" things at home . . . he's back in the Bumbo seat; we hung up the jumper (he loves it!). We went to the doctor for his 4-month check-up on Tuesday, July 13 (I know he was almost 5-months old!). The shots were a killer! He's 16 lbs 3 oz and 26 inches long! Such a happy, healthy guy! His hat style in this pic is courtesy of big cousin Decker.

Anna Kate is a great picker! She is focused and diligent.
Will had to eat while we were picking. Good thing there is one lonely chair near the blueberry bushes!
Samantha and Lucy pick blueberries and do a variety of other things while we are there! One of the things I adore about this farm is that it is a small, family-owned farm. It is so safe. And there is space for the girls to run in the grass around the bushes. So, when they want a break, it is easy to get one.
Samantha getting that break!

Lucy does love blueberries, though. And she has come a long ways from that first summer when she was nearly 18 months old, and she ate all blueberries she picked - a lot of blueberries!
Isn't that sweet?

Wrapping Up Wildwood

Will is such a happy baby! And he loves his bath!
Grandma and Grandpa Sheehan came to visit in Wildwood - they got to see all of us and Tim, too!

We went to the beach a couple of times!
Dolly the Trolley started running through downtown Wildwood on the weekends. We had to try it out, and we loved it!

We enjoyed a day at the waterpark on Morey's Pier (and we were so grateful we went while Grandma and Grandpa were in town - we needed their extra hands and extra eyes!) . . . .
This was one of Anna Kate's favorite spots in the "children's" section - you use the floating logs, blocks and other things and the rope to cross the water channel. And sometimes you fall in, too! Super fun and she was really good at it, too!
Even in the children's section, there were some fun slides. Some we went down together - with a child on our lap - and some the girls' braved on their own!

Our very, very last night in Wildwood, a sweet couple from one of the churches offered to take our family, along with another family and another director, out on their boat! Super fun! The girls loved it and were not at all nervous about being on a boat.


We saw a lot of dolphins, enjoyed a beautiful sunset, great fellowship, the girls got to "drive" the boat, and sit on the bow of the boat with Daddy! What a treat!
Samantha started off the night by falling asleep on Dave's lap.

Of course, we tried to squeeze in as much beach as we could. The weather was beautiful our last week. Here are some more pictures of the girls enjoying the beach.
Anna Kate was brave, loving to get covered by the waves.




Our staff team enjoyed a sunset boat ride after our staff banquet.
