In an attempt to get outdoors this summer despite the south's heat and humidity I talked the hubster into getting a pool membership.
It's been totally worth it.
The kids are getting some exercise, playing with other kids, getting some vitamin D, and becoming better swimmers. We've met new people, had some great conversations, and enjoyed each other as a family.
And I've totally mastered packing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. So there's that.
This girl is so funny. She has met more people at the pool than the rest of the family combined. She just walks right up in the middle of groups, introduces herself, and makes life long friends. She's the best. I've said it before and I'll say it again- I hope she stays this personable and friendly forever. She challenges me to be a kinder, friendlier, more joyful person without even knowing she is. Love. Her.
Dives are being mastered...
Boys...are weird, but I just love him so much in spite of all the weirdness.
Did I mention that half the time we're the only ones there? So it's like having our own personal pool that I never have to clean or manage... It's the only way to go.
Never leave your camera lying around...
He'll regret this picture when I show it at his wedding someday. #paybackbymom
Other than swimming not much has been going on. The kids have been reading and playing piano. Kane's become a master lawn mower- Yay for that.
Our sweet neighbor surprised Ruthie with a Fairy House hidden in our yard the other day- so fun!
We've been taking care of babies- our own and fostered- diaper changes, bottle feedings, and nursing, baths, and cuddles...it's very glamorous.
Our sweet little, foster baby is beautiful and sweet. Please continue to pray for her and her family. We've been so blessed by the outpouring of love that's been shown to our family since bringing her home- meals, gifts, friends coming over to hold and cuddle babies and the big kids while I shower and get some things done. We even had a group of ladies we did not know bring us a weeks worth of meals and buy us some groceries. It's been challenging to say the least, but already the blessings have outweighed the struggles. God is beyond good!
Happy Summer and Blessings,
