So Far in June...

     A very sad loss...D's very good friend, Tommy (on the far right), passed away from a brain aneurysm. He was a wonderful husband, father, and friend to many.  Prayers go out to his wife and two daughters (Micheline, Mikaela, and Mia) during a very difficult time. ): 

After the service, we gathered together to share lots of good memories of our time together with Tommy.


Our 1st selfie together on our 19th anniversary :0)

Canvas and Conversation

For our end-of-the-year celebration, we decided to do a paint night.  It was super fun!! 
 It also served as a fundraiser for Kim's daughter's swim club.  
 There were a total of 43 people who painted!!  What a mob!

Having dinner beforehand...



 

Paint brush in one hand...drink in the other!  Anna's ready to go!

Here's to nothin'!!!

 Alison was extremely focused!!

 Fun with friends :)

 Sara and Nikki took lots of action shots...


 ...and a bunch of goofy selfies!!
 

     Danielle and I with our finished product.  It was neat to see how different each painting was.  Kim gave everyone two different options for the background color and four different options for the flowers.
Photobomb...

What an awesome night!!
