Summer Update

Here's a quick, long overdue update on what's going on with our family.

LEVI - Walking everywhere now. Loves to eat just about anything. Has 4 teeth. A very happy baby who is always smiling/laughing for everyone who pays him any mind at all. Very healthy, praise the Lord!

ETHAN - Making progress, but slowly, with his speech development and listening abilities. Has been pretty healthy considering his susceptibility to sicknesses. Doesn't like to eat hardly anything, so we add as many calories as we can to every bite he takes. Still a sweet, sweet boy who "fathers" little Levi just like he sees mom/dad do. Very active and into everything like a lot of 2-year-old little boys, I reckon (but with twice the energy it seems to me!!).

Ethan's 2nd Birthday (8/5)

We made a 20-hour roundtrip visit to Jeff's brother, Rusty, and his wife, Jen, a few weeks ago. We loved getting to see them as it has been several years. This was their first time to see the boys, and the boys just loved them. Rusty and Jen live on some acreage in the country with cows, birds, rabbits, dogs, tractors and lots of room to roam. Here are some photos from that sweet visit:
