Summer Vacation!

It has been so long since I updated the blog! We have recently gotten internet in our home, and so this process of getting photos and info onto our family's blog should come more often.

School was out June 2nd for the children and June 3rd for me. The children are happily on summer vacation. The transition to being off a schedule though does come with an adjustment period!

Here are some of the events since we last updated the blog:

Easter

We colored eggs over our week break from school. We also attended the Riley Easter gathering at Nathaniel's parent's house. There they had an Easter egg hunt. May 2009

Joshua's 8th birthday was May 14th. We celebrated with small events and then took a family break to Duluth, Minnesota. We had a blast although it was mighty cold up there! The car ride to Duluth takes about 3 hours. During that time the children had a lot of extra time in the car. Creative Gabe created some new eye glasses!At the end of May Gabriel graduated from kindergarten. We also picked out our family's dog, Lacy. She's a little toy poodle. Very precious and a great addition to our family!

And Recently...

We have been traversing local parks and getting to know our area. We are close by a huge indoor park that we discovered on a rainy day. The kids went in and I wished I had brought a book as once they were in the climbing (four story) tree, I didn't see them for a LONG time!
