What happened in JUNE!?

Whoa! August...already?!?! Six months down, five months to go here in upstate New York before we move to Texas for four 1/2 months of language study. Yikes! The time is going fast. All of my mommy duties are being neglected today as I work in the office (AKA closet) and Dan is with the kiddos. I'm filling out applications, writing Eli's home school IHIP, weeding through email, updating our blog, and whatever else I find to do on the computer!

We've been meeting with people, speaking at various places, going to funerals, going to parks, church, on dates, shopping, hanging out with friends and family, celebrating...all while managing to stay put the entire month (meaning not having to pack a suitcase!).

Here are some random pictures from the month of June:

Daddy Date with sister Jess for Father's Day

Grandma Hough turned 90!

Boys got some wheels!

Dan and friend Aaron put together an overnight camping trip for guys from church

Cookout with Nate and his wife Liz
(before Paraguay, Nate lived at Larry's house with us too! It seriously was Three Men and a Baby + girl...me!)

I finally finished putting together the kids room with all the details so we'd have six months to enjoy it!

We celebrated friend Gavin's 2nd birthday with Cookie Monster (blue!) cupcakes

I celebrated my 33rd birthday
(Dan made me his infamous ice cream cake and took me out to dinner to the restaurant where we had our first date over nine years ago!)

Eli went to VBS at Opa and Oma's church

We've been slipping and sliding it here at Larry's house

Silas started standing...gasp!
