Summer Snapshot-A Photo Essay

by | Sep 2, 2013 | Life & Faith | 6 comments

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.

  3. 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?!
