Guys, I can't get over how fast this past month went! We had a lot going on and am finally getting back to our normal routine. We had a birthday, a big trip to MI, fundraising engagements, cousin time, sunshine, rainy days, a birthday with friends, bonfires and messy smore memories, two weeks with our Nanny, and came back home in time for the fourth of July. Wow! So here's a recap of it all ....

a good rainy day in our books! 

This girl turned 4!!  
Another round of ear infections for this guy ...

We LOVED seeing some of our aunts and uncles on our trip!  
Got to spend Father's Day with my own Daddy! I'll never take that for granted again.

M tried his hand at rock climbing

our very memorable boat ride on Gull Lake 

13 kids, 7 adults, fishing, a broken motor, rationed snacks, Moana songs, laughs, and being saved by Mr. Dave!
One great adventure as a family 

fishing and big catches 

Papa's big one!

exploring Poppy's fire station 

a favorite spot when in town 

a whole day with our BFF's 

complete with messy smores 

FISH FRY! with all our grandpa's 

my heart is full! 

so glad we had time with him. 

T and Sawyer are best buds and really miss one another when apart 

our last night in MI was spent flying airplanes in one of my favorite yards 

The lake with friends was a good wrap up to our month! super fun and relaxing

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...

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...
