June 2011

Finally, it seems like it is time to catch up. Summer came and summer went. We are now ready to start our 8th week of school. I guess now is the time to start documenting our summer. It was an eventful one. It was LIFE -- busy with blessings, fun, sadness, and sickness.

Ken did most of his spring work in June so that made for a busy start to summer. We enjoyed several weekends of company during the month. I can't seem to remember them all, but I know we had the Boone cousins that were in the area one weekend. We were blessed to have David, Katie, Cohen, Titus, and Lando Boone all the way from Nicaragua visit us one Sunday evening. It was a very enjoyable evening. We "grilled" David and Katie about the joys of living in Nicaragua. The cousins warmed up to each other and had a fun evening. This summer punctuated for me the blessing of seeing our children get to know and love being with their second cousins.

especially when Nieve chews up Bri's polly pockets :(

b&b had begged for this and it is much easier than packing to go camping
