I warned you there would be lots of photos.  I tried to put the rest of the summer photos in this one post but there’s no way you would have stuck with me to the end.  So be prepared: there are more to come ; ) If you missed parts one, two, or three, just click here, here, or here.  Otherwise, read on…

July brought with it a visit from our dear friends in San Antonio.  We met Jen, Tim, Hannah, and Rebecca last Spring Break (2015) at the beach.  Jen and Tim’s delightful chatty children befriended our chatty children.  Instant friendship.  Joey and William asked after the girls left if they could please write them letters.  So they did and a pen-pal relationship was born.  The friendship naturally extended to the adults, as well.  I look forward to and adore our visits.  Jen is a wealth of knowledge on politics, which I love to soak up, and Tim and I never run out of education topics to discuss, both of us being involved in the education of children, him in the public school world, me in the homeschool community.  The kids delight in one another’s company, so it’s just a lovely visit each time they come down for their Spring Break and Summer beach fix.  This year’s visit included Jen’s birthday which we were honored to celebrate with her (and surprisingly, I have very few photos of!), a trip out to our local university for a bike ride, and a few days at the beach.  Then they unexpectedly popped back down for a day visit in August.  It was exactly what we needed after our first week of school…a beach date with friends that we love spending time with.  Our visit to the University…

The beach… Our August visit…
