Summer

Back to 2009 Pictures

All clean and dressed up for church on Sunday

This is what they look like the rest of the week!

This used to be a mole hill. It's Joshua's favorite place to play in the yard.

We have been doing lots of showers and baths this summer!

Lucy loves to experience her food! She's a good climber, too, which shouldn't surprise anyone because her middle name, Jael, means "mountain goat."

"Mommy! Wash me, please!"

In contrast, Joshua is a very tidy eater.

We like to take lots of walks around home.

Sometimes we walk to the park.

Up, up, up the big slide...
Once she got up, though, it was way too high!

Sprinklers at the park

Sometimes I carry Esther in the moby wrap and other times she rides in the stroller. Either way, she usually falls asleep!

Once we rode the free trolley around Oregon City, to the lasting delight of Joshua and Lucy.

When we walk, they always notice the trolley pass, so they were thrilled to be in it this time!

Watching life go by...

...enjoying the ride!

The Papas:
Brother-in-law Ryan with his son Patrick, Eli with Esther, and brother Sam with his daughter Lylah

The Mamas:
Leah, me, and Sarah

Cousins! The babies were not too happy about the photo shoot, but the older kids got a kick out of the whole thing!

Lucy's growing up!

I have three of the cutest kids ever!

This was a great season of enjoying God's good gifts of green grass, sunshine, mud, a new baby, good food, and warm weather!
