Summer Break has begun! 
Grateful for these last few crazy filled weeks. It's been rough. Croup. Pneumonia. Birthdays. Pool time. And lots of hot weather. We managed to finish first grade and we are breaking for a few fabulous weeks of pure summer bliss. With an upcoming vacation to see Uncle Jesse, Aunt Debbie and the awesome cousins in New Jersey, the fourth of july and another birthday. Not sure when we will resume and begin second grade, but we are enjoying our first full day of break. 
But before the weeks get away, here's a recap of the last few weeks and all it's beautiful, crazy, germ infested, sweaty fun! 
Our little princess ended up with pneumonia over her birthday but was a true trooper! 

Our neighbors down the road brought out their pony to show Norma and let the boys ride. 

You two got rather close this last month, as you both were pretty sick so
missed out on a few dinners and events and spent that time together at home. 

Sharks in the water!!! 

we spent almost a whole week with kids in our room.
sleeping in bed or next to our bed. 

our normal smiley boy, wasn't so smiley for a few days there.
Glad to have his happy self back! Croup is NO fun

Date night with momma to South Haven! 

sunsets, ice cream, sand, and playgrounds 

It's the simple joys 

AND WE FINISHED! 1st grade is done! So proud of you Milo Man. 
Well we are on to vacation now. Couldn't be prouder. First grade was a whirlwind. Filled with lots of fun, some frustration, but plenty of growth for both student and teacher. Looking forward to the new schedule this fall and for our second grade year! New adventures and growth await!! But until then let's simply ENJOY these days of hot sun and little on the schedule. And soak in as many beach days as we can!
YES!!! BEACH DAYS!!
*remember you sunscreen!

There's No Place Like Home

This December marks the start of our 4th year in our old, cozy home. It's this time each year I begin to think of all the hard work that was put into making this old farmhouse our home. It took months of work, (mostly time of Grandpa Keith's), and lots of imagination. I remember when Daddy took me thru the first time, the place was SO dirty, run down, and in dire need of some TLC!! But the little details and charm of the place got to me and I knew we just HAD to live here!! It was perfect. I fell in love. It had so many “old” things and so much history to it; from the kitchen cabinets, to the door knobs, & who doesn't just LOVE the hand crafted cabinets?! And it wasn't just the house, it was the surroundings. The fields, farms, country way of life, and of course the location... so close to our families! Beautiful spring/fall flower collection  The wheat fields This is our road ... down by the river. BEAUTIFUL during sunset!  The beau...

PRAISE GOD!! It is with the greatest joy we announce that our family has made it to the 50% mark in our monthly fundraising goal! Praise God! With that being said, we are setting new goals and continuing on with eager anticipation as to how God will work in the coming months. We've set some goals and are praying to be at 80% by October so we can attend the month long pre-field training near Asheville, NC. Our goal is reach Stockton-on-Tees at the beginning of the new year! In other news, God has been answering prayer here in our simple way of living in our front yard! I am writing a post dedicated to how God is moving and what we are doing, but until it's all done, I'll just recap it quickly. God has been bringing folks to our yard, expanding our friends in the neighborhood and making old things new and beautiful. Our front yard is now a gorgeous oasis of light and beauty and we are excited to have more summer meals, parties, and conversations around the new rock p...

Sunday morning, watching The Pond before church  Well we finally have some form of internet out here in the boondocks. ha! Hopefully that means more posts... but I wouldn't hold your breath. So until I get better at this blogging things and keeping things up to date, here's a little recap and some fun highlights of where life is now. (and of course there's tons of pics at the end and thru it, because, well, i'm much better at capturing life then writing about it! ha!) First, Highlights! -Eddie is a cruising baby now. Dude, you are amazing at pulling up on just about anything and have only taken a few little falls. Determined to get to where you want, there's not much that keeps you still now, except food! You love food. Recently learned how delicious Ritz crackers are and watermelon. Bananas are still a fav though along with any fruit really. -We began fundraising!!!! WOOHOO! It's been a week on the trial and we are sitting at 8% already. Our goal i...
