June Snapshots

Some of our June.

We've been out of school almost exactly two weeks and I think we've

discovered our 'new normal.'

Though normal every day is a bit different.

Grace started Summer school this week and is enjoying it very much,

she's taking an arts and crafts class and a reading/writing class.

Will gets to be a man of leisure with me in the mornings for now.

We've been swimming in the afternoon and they start VBS next week in the evenings.

 

1. They are now officially 5th and 2nd graders and I cannot believe

how much they've grown and how fast this school year has flown by.

2. Selfie 3. Yummy strawberries, we are loving all the seasonal fruit right now.

4. Grace and Will were baptized on Father's Day. They each thought of and wrote

a statement of faith, and spoke in front of our congregation. Grace read the 23th Psalm

and told everyone it is her favorite because she knows 'God is always with her' when she reads it.

Will summarized Christianity in 9 sentences and elaborated on several.

The congregation enjoyed it very much and we were struck by how moved

everyone was.

Dan and I are extremely proud!

5. Clark Kent made an appearance in our backyard.

6. Red poppies (taken with my dslr).

May Instagram Love

The month of May has flown by for us.

That's probably due to school winding down and the recital.

Grace and Will have only 5 and a half days left of school until they're out for the Summer!

 

I use my iphone for most of the photos I post on Instagram,

and the above are some of my favorites from May.

1. My little 'cool dude' Will. 2. Grace with her best friends. 3. Grace and her friend Tess

waiting to get their photos taken at the dance school.

4. Will at hip hop dress rehearsal. 5. Grace before we left for the recital. 6. Backstage.

7. My 'happy place' as of late, my favorite garden center which I've visited a few times.

8. Our white lilacs in full bloom. 9. A serious Ironman.

29/52 - Instagram catch-up

{Mid July} 

A little catch up per Instagram from the last week to 10 days.

Starting in the upper left and moving right: 1. Grace ready to leave for a friends' birthday party.

2. A very wet Zoe from swimming at the dog park, she was drying off in the grass.

3. Summer evening sky. 4. 3 nine year olds being silly and making me laugh.

5. A tired Will after spending an afternoon swimming at the pool.

6. Wisconsin in Summer, red barns and Queen Anne's Lace.
