First Memory Verse

This week they have learned to quote "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15

Can't wait to teach them some more verses!

Fun at the Lake

Aunt Jody brought toys and helped them build a sand castle!

They LOOOOOVED it!

Gracie was completely fearless.

Laughing and having SO much fun!

This is what Gracie looked like most of the time: smiling and running! We kept a close eye on them since they didn't have life jackets. Joel is going to buy them some and take them back out more often since they loved it so much!

A Fabulous Friday

The highlight of our week, by far, was having Barb, Kate, Emma, and Reed come spend the day with us!! We went to the park, hung out at the house and had lunch, went to the library, the splash pad, and then played at the house some more and ate dinner together. Sadly, I only managed to take pictures at the splash pad.

Ava and Gracie weren't too sure about the splash pad at first. They watched on the sidelines for awhile. You can see Reed running through the middle and Emma cruising around the outside in this video:

But eventually they ventured in and ended up loving it! Especially Ava, who was NOT happy to leave and keeps asking to go back!!

SUCH a wonderful day!

7th Anniversary

We celebrated 7 years on August 7th! I was planning to scan some wedding photos to put with this post but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

We went to Subway for lunch after Sunday School and John and Jody treated us to Interurban for dinner! Not having to cook, especially on a Sunday, makes it a great day in my book!
