The most adorable game of Bingo and the tastiest treats this morning before we head off to a wedding! Y’all know we love this place and we love this little girl! #finleyjoy #stannetartphotocontest
Back from the dead. This 240 sat for over three years. It was covered in 1/8 inch of dust, all the tires were flat, and it didn’t run. I took ownership a few weeks ago, and after some research, some wrenching, hitting a few things with a hammer, and a good wash, it’s now roadworthy once again! This was my first “barn find” resurrection, but hopefully not my last. #volvo240 #barnfind
At six moths you would recognize familiar faces. Instead you are face to face with your creator. At six months you would respond to your own name. Instead you are in the presence of the one who wrote your name on his hand. At six months you would make sounds of joy and displeasure. Instead you make joyful noises with the Lord. At six months you would look around at things nearby. Instead you are looking at things to come. These beautiful words are from a note we received from our good friend @daisyfd. They are as comforting as they are hard. Together we say, “come Lord Jesus, come.” #marlowjanebraun
I got to be a part of a really special event this morning. @joyridecarsorg is an event that pairs owners of high end exotic sports cars with kids who have various kinds of disabilities, and takes them on literal joy rides! I love cars, and I love kids, but I was not expecting to be so emotionally impacted seeing the faces of these kids enjoying laps around a closed circuit. I shot a few of these images through watery eyes, feeling very connected to the suffering these kids experience and at the same time marveling at their joy. It reminded me so much of Marlow and the highs and lows our family has experienced this year. Kids ranged in age from toddlers to teenagers, and the cars ranged from subtle @porsche’s to flamboyant Vipers with lime green paint and everything in between. The car in the first image is a Porsche 918, and it was absolutely stunning. A million dollars well spent. My favorite image in the set is the fourth one. I see myself in that young man, absolutely losing his mind getting to sit in a @lamborghini. If you know of anyone who’s child might enjoy something like this, check out @joyridecarsorg’s website! #joyridecarsorg
 
After being gone for a week he’s home. ❤️ Today the official countdown for vacation started. I’m making to-do and packing list and getting all the work done! #braunfamilyof5
Today we all agreed that this is how summer nights should end. All us adults went full on pool and jumped off the diving boards (a few even doing flips!), slid down the slide and got soaked under the mushroom waterfall. My family even came to Dayton to swim for a bit and I’m so glad they did. I’m falling hard for summer, this one has been on of the most fun and restful ones yet! Thanks for the photo @natalieherr, I don’t have many with me actually in them 😆 #braunfamilyof5
Cousin Wyatt is here for a few days and now there’s two Chatty Cathys in the house. #braunfamilyof5
It crushes my heart to see her out there chalking alone knowing her sister won’t be there to join her. But let’s be real, it’d be more of a “I’m going to eat your chalk instead of draw with it” situation but still in it together. I’m thankful Finley handles her alone time pretty well and God gave her the biggest mind full of imagination. #braunfamilyof5 #marlowjanebraun
