Saturday Nights

Every since seminary days John

has grilled on Saturday nights.

Now he's recruiting the boys...

Summer Wedding

John's WTS graduation regalia got demoted

to dress ups today. Dem immediately pulled out

an old flower girl dress and thus, the wedding was born.

the very happy couple

the minister

role change

Cinderella

While the kids were all dressing up,

Dem had the idea to put this on Amelie.

She LOVED it (asked for it after naps).

Doesn't go so well with the hand broom,

but I wasn't going to fight it just for

a cute picture.

I realized a couple things:

1. I desperately need a new camera

(one you do more than JUST push a button,

I want to have some fun).

2. Baby toes and feet are so cute!

What to do on a rainy day...

Lots of dress up!

Charlie said he was a teacher....

Haircut

I finally talked her (and

her father) into this...

My Summer Girls

What every girl needs: a hat and a shovel.

She got sunglasses from VBS.

I'll say no more.

Finally! "Fruit" from our labors in the garden...

More Summer Days

Pirates have been seen around here...

I'm worried about the injuries

this sword might cause.

Wednesdays after prayer meeting,

the Liv's can be seen watching

Wipeout.

Summer Days

Amelie loved sitting on the cooler

while we waited for the parade.

This WAS an ice cream sandwich...

Tired kids...

Swimming...

Matching VBS shirts, including Amelie,

thanks to Jnet.

Dem

Chandra got these great pictures of Dem...

I love them! She really "caught" Dem's personality.

4th of July

We went down to Glenside for their parade...

We ran into our good friends, the M's, and

Chandra took these pictures.

We had a great time, especially with friends

to share it with!

Dem and her very dear friend, A, who happened

to have a birthday July 4!

Charlie had no trouble

"getting into" the festivities!
