Miss Independent...

Here is Sophia exerting her sense of identity and independence by wearing her rain boots around (I'm trying to keep this phase of power struggling positive...yes, I'm calling it a phase...)

Bay House!

We reunited with my college roommates and families for an unprecedented weekend at Leila's family's Bay House! Here is Sophia with us out on the boat.

More Fun at Chick-Fil-A

Braden and Sophia continue their summer good times at Chick-Fil-A
How did Braden learn to pose that perfectly? He is so ready for prom pictures! Luckily, Brock arrived just in time to play with them in the play place!

Miss Fourth of July

Sophia spent the 4th of July in Virginia Beach with all of her grandparents. Here she is in her festive clothing by her decorated wagon. She was Grand Marshall of her own private parade...

Pic of the Week (or Year)

Okay, I know this is already below, but Laurie, a true Blog-master, thought to crop the picture and the effect is much stronger. Look at the joy!

Friends Forever...

Sophia shows Judah the ropes at Busch Gardens...
Sophia and Braden cuddle up...
Can we pick and control our children's friends forever please?

Down on the Farm!

Miss Independent...

Fun in the Hammock!
We went to the Perry's Farm on Saturday morning for some fun with animals and hammocks!
