Summer Time! A little bit of IL Jersey and NYC



Our summer has been one to remember that's for sure! Somehow it's the last day of July?! Lots to be thankful for over the past weeks, and although I have missed a couple Multitude Mondays... here is the catch up until Hannah's 9th birthday on 7/22!

{Some pics are from IL, where Hannah Hudson Honolulu and I were until 7/23 when we flew to Jersey to be reunited with Matt & Harrison. Matt & our good friend Dave were able to share the gospel in a tent, that was supported by Dave's local gathering. Harrison was able to live his best life with some good friends during that time too!}

Hannah was able to get a kick start on her bday celebration when Grandpa Ray came to visit! 
Mall & Target date!



Mimi treated us all to Hannah's supper place of choice- which was Cheesecake! All of us were thrilled!
Thankfully during the 2 weeks Matt was away, we were blessed with Hudson having Summer School and 2 amazing VBS's to attend. This week was a local church's VBS, where his bestie, Amelia attended too! And in true momma form I was there on site *just in case*. And the cheese stick smile was ever so classy ( insert a big deep momma sighhhhh)


We often had lunch dates that week, and Joy Yee is always a fave!

Trying out her bday deco skillz!


Meanwhile, Big H is loving being adopted for the week by the amazingly fun and oh so generous Bruno fam!


Lulu is anything but chubby but this pose was hysterical and those cheeks!!
Her huge baby blues are pretty captivating. We are obsessed.
Our good friend Mark was on biz in NYC, so it was a perfect dinner date after meeting one night! These food pics were drool worthy ( and yes Matt ROCKED his Intermittent Fasting the whole 2 weeks in Jersey/NYC! Even with the insane amount of delish foods everywhere!)












I love this idea... there are 2 photographers walking through VBS all week, and each day these boards are updated. The memories that our kiddos had during the 3 hours, each day were many!



Matt's "food" during the day was a Turmeric shot, iced coffee and aqua. He lasted til supper on this! Super impressive!
Last day of VBS, the kiddos perform for us!

Loved this pic of Hudson wondering about Mimi's veins LOL!


Hoping to make this a reality on a wall this year!

Guac bar at our local grocery store.... mind blown when I added Pineapple, extra Jalepenos and black beans to my guac! Sweet and spicy!
Last week of Matt solo, our good friend Paul flew in to celebrate his 50th birthday! Dave was their amazing tour guide one day & they cycled all over the city!



















 They enjoyed meeting with the believers in Livingston that Sunday & enjoyed a delish meal with good friends after!


Meanwhile... we were enjoying Pool life, hair appointments, and lots of Lulu!
















 Her birthday eve! Last night as an 8 year old!
