Olympic Swimmers

We sure are enjoying the Olympics around here!

 These swimmers are headed to an Opening Ceremony party!

Chris moved our bed into the living room so that we can watch the Olympics every evening as a family in true comfort!

For the faithful readers who have checked back over the summer, enjoy the new pictures!

There should even be more tomorrow!

Pool's Open!

Here We Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush

Two of a Kind

Hello, and happy Tuesday to you!

The boys and I baked up some treats last week, and I caught them digging in!

Here they are fresh out of the tub.

I love how they love each other.

A Sower went out to sow...

We learned about the parable of the sower two times this weekend, and so behold, above, the largest plant I have ever grown from a seed!  Ta-daa! 

And here are our happy strawberries!

(Plants in our garden aren't usually happy, so this is significant!  

They have a habit of shedding all their leaves, leaving only the stalks.

What does that mean?)

And sweet Caleb!

Happy Memorial Day!

We are AWANA Cubbies!

 Josiah loved his first year of Cubbies.

He did great memorizing his verses and he loved riding with his Grandma each week.

Chris and I enjoyed our weekly date nights!

 Josiah is sniffing the ground, trying to smell his friend 'Natalie' who he loved at a retreat at camp a few weeks ago.  Ha!

Here is his award bear and his Pink Panther balloon he had made at the fair after awards night.

P.S.  We lost Josiah's vest a couple of weeks into the year, but my mom happened to have my old vest tucked away, so here he is in all his uniformed glory.

P.P.S.  Caleb loves this outfit.  He asks to wear it every day, and every day he can't wear his "monkey shirt" begins with a few tears.
P.P.P.S.  Chris doesn't approve of calling the clothes of little boys 'outfits'.  But what else are you supposed to call them?  

Working with Daddy

The other day after lunch, Chris had to do a quick car repair.
