not much going on

There is not much going on in our household right now. We are trying to get over colds and are packing for vacation once again. We leave on Wednesday and come back next Tuesday. So we hope that the weather will be great and are looking forward to spending time with family & enjoying God's creation. Hope you all have a great week!

Storybook Gardens

We went to Storybook Gardens on Tuesday. Someone from Paul's work gave us a one day family pass so we took the opportunity of going. It was fun. We went last year, but Seth was a little too young to enjoy everything. But this year he loved pretty much everything, except he didn't want to go in the splash pad.

Daddy, Seth & Humpty Dumpty

Our smiley baby Ethan, even he enjoyed himself. He only slept for 15-20 minutes while we were there because he wanted to see what was going on!

What a fun day and a great time for us to spend as a family!

baby fun

My cousin Micah & his wife Beth and their baby girl Micayla visited my parents last weekend and we were able to visit them too. Here are Micayla & Ethan together. They are just a little over 1 month apart.

exersaucer fun! Ethan loves his exersaucer.

Seth wanted a picture too and here he is with his usual goofy grin!

our baby is 3 months old

Ethan was 3 months old last week Thursday. The last month has gone by quickly and it is amazing at how fast he is growing up. He is a happy baby and full of smiles. He is getting in a routine, feeding every 4 hours or so and is eating rice cereal before bed which allows him to sleep longer. And that is a wonderful thing!

What a blessing it is to have family!

Finally! Vacation pictures

I am uploading these pictures from my parents computer since we are having trouble on ours. We were at the trailer for almost 1 week. My parents, sister and brother were there too. Matt & Julianna and their girls camped for 4 days beside us. We had cooler weather but it was enjoyable. The 4 of us were able to go out for supper one night while my sisters watched the kids. We also were able to go swimming and for a boat ride. We had game night every night after the kids were in bed. It was an enjoyable time.

Enjoy all these pictures.

Here is the inside of our sunroom. Paul & my Dad went in June to fix up this room and bug proof it. We are now able to sleep on the pull-out couch in this room.

the beach

Swim time.

Seth & Paul enjoying the water. It was a little cool so we only had 1 or 2 days of swimming.

Boys will be boys!

Paul bought a remote control airplane to bring up with us. He bought it for him & Seth, but I think it was more for him to have fun. Even Matt enjoyed it and bought one of his own!

Supper in the park.

My parents treated us to KFC so all of us, including Matt & Julianna and their girls went along.

(Oops, forgot to rotate this pictures)

Here are pictures of the beautiful waterfall in Bracebridge.

Psalm 19:1

"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament show His handiwork"

Here's a picture of our family. Kate was not able to make it, but everyone else was there! We had a great time and look forward to going again in a few weeks!
