What a difference 6 months makes!

July ’08



Maybe next time we will remember to take the group picture when everyone is rested and happy? 🙂  The kids had a great time together for the 4th of July weekend!

Andy told me we had record numbers of subscribers after last week’s post! Yay!

However, we did not have a record number of comments. What’s up with that?

I’m thinking about blogging more, as I have lots to say sometimes, but the lack of feedback is pretty discouraging. If you read a post, at least leave me a comment so I know you care!  It’s the polite thing to do in the blogging world.

Thank you to the regular commenters… you know who you are, and so do I. We’re really glad you enjoy our pictures and news! 🙂

Now, a few pictures from this past weekend… it was a busy one! A wedding shower for my friend Bethany (complete with toilet paper wedding gowns… Natalie was in paradise) and a trip to Oceanside to visit the JCJC Wilkinsons (they have some cute pictures as well! Check them out and leave a comment!).

(That’s my team’s dress, which won the contest, by the way… just had to brag about that!)

It’s not 100% official yet, but it looks like we’ll be moving within 1-2 weeks! We have been patiently waiting for God to lead us to the perfect house, and it looks like we found it. Please pray that everything works out smoothly– we will hopefully sign the lease next Wednesday. I wanted to share a few pictures with you because I know everyone will be curious.

Last week we spent four days in Yosemite National Park with my family. The Valley is beautiful this time of year, and empty of tourists. We stayed in the lovely Ahwahnee Hotel, so it was nice have a warm place to come back to after spending time outside– it was freezing! As you can see, it was very foggy when we first arrived.

Natalie loved the snow so much!

There was much making of snowmen…

…and hiking, and eating, and hanging out with the family. We had a fun, refreshing time.

If you are interested, I have a ton more pictures posted on my Facebook!
