Beach Moments

Hello all!

We were blessed to have a few days to get away with the kids this summer and chose to go camping at Warren Dunes in Michigan. We had a great time and enjoyed our vacation immensely.

I thought I'd share a few peaceful pictures from the beach. These were taken in the evening when the beach was much quieter and restful.

I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the summer.

Summer's Flying By!

I'm sure the rest of you will agree that summer is simply flying by right now. We've been busy with summer schedules (swim lessons, VBS, the usual) and are looking forward to things slowing down (maybe!?) for this last month before school starts! July is a busy month all the way through, but once we make it through fair week, we should be on our way to taking it a little easy. Right!? :)

The good news is that we have an official Gift of Grace Photography website where you can purchase the notecards online now. There are 20 different designs. For those of you who live near, just drop me a line if you want to purchase some and we'll skip the shipping!

One of my 9-year old's 4-H projects this year was photography. She picked it - really! Without any pressure from me. Anyway - I thought I'd post a shot or two that she's pretty proud of right now - I think I've got an up and coming assistant - what do you think? :)

Anyway - it's been fun to see what she comes up with - we did a LOT of pictures to come up with enough for her poster! She's had fun with the camera and has tried not to get too frustrated (you know how well kids like to take instruction from Mom!).

I hope you all have a fantastic rest of the summer - stay cool!
