I’ve not been very up close and personal with the family scrapbook-like sharing here in this space. But since Jennifer Finding Heaven Ferguson asked……well, here’s how I was refreshed last weekend. And praise Jesus it came just in the nick of time–it’s been a challenging summer.
Forthwith The Collins Family Swimming and Burger King Adventure

My son Aaron is behind him with Peter in the air,
and Courtney is trying to convince Paul it’s okay to be in the water.

We love the Heathman!

We are richly blessed!
Mia, I appreciate you so much. I'll pass on the good word for the Grandpa–he'll be blessed.
God continues to sustain and refresh me, Ceil. Thanks for your kind words.
The warmth of your family and the good-natured fun you enjoy together is delightful. Can I be an aunt or a cousin in your family?!
Hi Jody Lee! Gotta love those raucous boys, don't cha? Sure looks like you had a wonderful time with your family, what could be better!
I am sorry it's been such a challenging summer. I pray that your next season will be one of joy and rest. Maybe some more family time, Nana:)
From Unite,
Ceil
Dear Jody Lee
They are adorable and please tell grandpa that he is doing holy work playing with the little ones in the pool. We are honored that you shared them with us!

Sorry your summer has been rough.
Fondly,
