Way too long...

It's been way too long since I've posted...not that many people care :). Here are some BRIEF highlights of the past couple of months.

Ellie finished her first year of preschool and they had a darling program with a cowboy theme.
SO CUTE!

I know Ellie doesn't look too happy, but she had fun :)

Ellie's teacher is the best! She's been such a blessing to Ellie.

I love these women!! I really should post a picture of the three of us from the 'good old days' in the mission field! We had a fabulous time in Santa Barbara - and I got a great abs workout from laughing so hard. Really.

Ellie & Jacks new toy. Funny how long they are entertained by going 1 mph. Jack in his swimming gear for lessons. So cute.
Father's Day - Aren't they a good lookin' bunch?! I'm so blessed to have such amazing men in my life. I am so grateful that John is such a great father to our kids...they ADORE him. He is such a sweet, patient, engaged dad. He learned a lot from his own dad. And then there's my dad (not in the picture). Words cannot express my gratitude for him. We have such a sweet relationship.

I am so blessed.
Ellie's dance performance. She did NOT want to wear makeup - she's not so girly. But isn't she darling? I love her to pieces!!

Ellie's perspective. These are her photos. I just thought they were funny.
Fun times with beloved cousins!!
Yes, Jack is wearing a swimming ring - funny boy!!
