It's August 2014!!!

But first,

as we prepared for the Aug. 1st arrival of Papa Bob and Meemom from AZ,

we decided we should check out their pontoon boat,

and make sure it is ready for them! ; -)

 Yup!  It's workin' good!

Then, on August 1st Eve,

we had the pleasure of having some summer cabin friends

visit us with some of their good friends from where they all live in Seattle.

 We were blessed to get to know Tina and her daughter, Alexis.

Very sweet ladies!

And 16 year-old Alexis is quite the volleyball player!!

 Then, yesterday afternoon,

Papa Bob and Meemom arrived!

We enjoyed a lovely evening together on their back deck!

 Uh oh,

a few yellow jacket nests were spotted!

Papa Bob and Daddy to the rescue! 

View in the sky we enjoyed for much of the evening . . .

"The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands."
Psalm 19:1
 

And lastly,

just for the cuteness factor . . . ;-)

Brielle giving Valerie a "thank you" kiss for fixing her hair in this adorable new style! : -)
