July days

Fellowship at church.

Mrs. Bolwerk gave us some new toys!

And the kids made her thank you notes.

South Park fun.

john made us crunchy fish and cheese curds one Saturday.

Dukie helped.

We had s'mores.

Matching skirts!

You know those brief moments when you feel like maybe you are doing something right in your parenting? Like when your 3 year old recognizes Calvin's book on the Christian life and is checking it out, meanwhile the 5 year old selected another book off of the church book table..... #imkidding 😅😅😅, but I do I hope they grow up to appreciate good books! #Lordwilling

Dukie has always had special treasures that he MUST sleep with. What they are changes frequently, but currently it is Marshall, "baby Marshall," and Egg.
😅😅 #momlife

We made anniversary cards for friends at church.

Lite brite at the library.

We played at the library on a lot of Friday afternoons.

Pizza friday with a movie!

Caroline set up our family at the library, lol.

Quiet, my heating pad, and a book. It doesn't get much better than that!

Flying an airplane.

We pulled the baby swing back out for the boy with a cast.

A whole sink full of kale.

Duke got some special mail from his aunt today! His dog has a cast too ❤.

We hung out at the ortho dr.

and looked at lots of xrays.

and hunted frogs.

Read books at the library.

and celebrated national cheesecake day.

My Goodwill find today. Like new, with all the stickers for 1.99 apiece! #thingsadultsgetexcitedabout

And took family selfies on Sunday mornings.
