Where have we been?

I realized tonight that I had literally forgotten about my blog. Here is a run down of the past 2 weeks.

We picked berries. It was for the birds. It was so stinking hot and most of the lower branches had been picked. Except for the pink/red berries--those were ripe for the picking according to Nate. And then once anyone got a few/30 in the bucket he would dump them out. We find ourselves saying often, "We will have a lot of fun stuff to do once the kids are older!" It was beautiful out there though.






We finished swim lessons at the YMCA. Streed really should have been in the older group but they are slightly by the book! Ella really did learn to swim but she is still not confident. The first day of the lessons I was not sure it was going to work. She screamed "MAMA" to the top of her lungs when the instructor tried to do anything. She finally warmed up by day 3. I snapped this first picture on the way to their last lesson. I LOVE IT!





We attended a 4th of July party hosted by the church we have been visiting. It was at someones house--complete with food, drinks, shuttle parking, face painting, pony rides and professional-grade fireworks.






Visiting family for a few days. It was hot but nice to be away relaxing. The kids loving seeing THEIR horse.



Vacationing with friends who are like family for a few days. Jill's neices were there so there were 6 kids under 6. The water was gorgeous. And the company was great.






We also visited two special families on our trek back from PCB to Little Rock. But, my memory card was full and I was actually over taking pictures by that point :) We just enjoyed catching up and let the kids play.
