The Passing Days

This last month has held several special family moments.  For our July 4th celebration, I picked up Hannah early one Saturday afternoon and brought her over to the house to help me decorate and make our festive dessert for that evening.

Don't you think they turned out cute?

Hannah was also thrilled to announce to us that she'll take up violin lessons later this month!  So with two on piano and one already mastering the violin, the Turner family is well on their way to having a full-blown orchestra! ;)

This past weekend we celebrated Laura's birthday.  I made a lemon blueberry trifle for dessert which turned out tasting quite yummy.  

Though I don't have any pictures to show for this, I couldn't wait for Laura to open the gift I put together for her:  two albums holding pictures of her kids from 2007-2016 (with room to add more in the coming years).

Little Katie is growing and looks just like a baby doll. :)

We look forward to Kathy coming home for four days later this month!  It will be good to be together again as a family before the fall semester begins.
