June

The month of June was absolutely beautiful. The weather was perfect - low to mid twenties and sunny. We got lots of outside time in. Our yard was in decent condition (although a huge part of it was "seeded" and therefore unusable). The deck got lots of use - we are so thankful for that added "living space". It was fun to spend lots of time enjoying the big outdoors as a family. 

Mark and Vicki bought Greg and I a Keg gift card for babysitting Peyton over the past half year. What delicious food! I've never actually been to The Keg, and didn't have any real desire to go - I'm not a "big hunk of meat" sort of person. However, now that I've been, I'd LOVE to go back ... the shrimp was amazing!! After our "date" we wandered into a few of the nearby stores - and picked up these wooden birdhouses for the kids to paint. They really enjoyed this activity, and the birds have enjoyed the benefits! 

 

Always a goof. 

There are often some interesting creatures wandering around this house! 

Two bottle-drinking beauties! And look at that sunshine streaming in :) 
 

The month of June contained another exciting event - I gained a nephew! Peyton became a big sister on June 16th - and he's a cutie! He slept for the first two (three?) weeks of his life, so we didn't get to hear too much of him ... that is changing now though :D 
New babies are always exciting! Such a gift from above!
