Time With Family

Time with Family always goes too fast! I am so grateful for the family that God has blessed me with and the opportunity to spend time with them this summer. The thousands of miles between us just makes the times we spend together more precious.


All the fam together!

Sisters!


Doesn't this face just make you chuckle?


And then you just have to kiss those cheeks!

New Hampshire

The last 10 days we have been soaking in all the New Hampshire goodness we can! We come back here every summer to spend time with family and simply enjoy all the beauty around us. This trip seems to have completely flown by, and I feel like I haven't basked in the fresh New Hampshire air quite long enough.
One of our favorite places to go (a favorite of mine since high school) is downtown Portsmouth. Portsmouth was the fourth European settlement in New England, and with it's brick streets, old buildings, and view of the Piscataqua River it is high on our list of things to do whenever we are back here! Here are a few pictures to give you a feel for this historic city:

The view down Market Street looking toward North Church

Old Warehouse- you can still see the old adds painted on the brick

North Church fun facts: Daniel Webster was a member here as well as William Whipple, who signed the Declaration of Independence, and in November of 1789, President George Washington attended services here.

I love the fire escapes and street lights!

Prescott Park

The best way to get around.

More New Hampshire fun to come!
