July 4th

Our neighborhood puts on an annual July 4th celebration, and it just so happens that the festivities are a stone's throw from our house (including the parade that runs right next to our house!). It's really cute and we have enjoyed sharing this experience w/friends every year. THANK YOU TO ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVE AND HAVE SERVED THEIR COUNTRY. YOU RISK YOUR LIVES FOR OUR FREEDOM. WE ARE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES.


The Furjanic family (Henry (1), Mike & Shana, and Addison (3)).

Aww....this is just too sweet! Gal pals for life.

Naima (4.5) and Avery (3). Sweet girls...best of buds.

Benjamin's first 4th celebration!
Benjamin, Jenn & Nanci (dear friend to the family).

My cutie pie!

Benjamin & Jonathan. Best buddies!

The Olsen Four

One of two fireworks we set off.


Chris, Jenn & Avery (Olsen clan - sleeping Benjamin missing from photo) -
Francina, Nicholas, Naima, Christoph and Jonathan (the Kahl clan). A blessing of a family to us!


Kindred spirits. Sisters from different worlds. (The Kahl family moved here from the East Coast in early March, and we found friendship fast w/this blessing of a family. What a joy to know you all!)
