Angela, Travis, and Moonlight Vigil
We had some more visitors this month, which is always a blessing, especially when they’re good friends like Angela and Travis. Unfortunately we don’t have very may pictures to show from their trip. This might be due to the fact that they’re our third set of visitors, and maybe this carries with it the same effect of my mother having increasingly less baby pictures with each additional child. I’d like to think it has more to do with the fact that we were spending most of our time laughing and enjoying ourselves that we found little time to take pictures.
