Journal of June 2010

I'm doing a little bit if catch up. :) We had a busy month of June. My college roomate and Andrew's Godmother, Rebecca Niemerg, visited us for about a week at the beginning of June.
Then we headed for El Paso for a college friend's wedding reception followed by a week of VBS with the cousins. They all had a good time.

And I think I wrote in an earlier post that Bridget and Abby are good buds. Well, here are some more pictures to prove it. :) They are so cute together!

After we got back my dad came for a visit. I didn't get any pictures, but we had a very fun weekend with him. We went strawberry picking with him, which was the first time Bridget had a chance to go berry picking (not in a sling). She loved it and came home red from head to tow. We went berry picking again later in the week, and ended up with 26 jars of strawberry jam and I think about 10 gallons of frozen strawberries!

Later that week we went to Chicago. Again, no pictures, but we had a great time. We went to the Field Museum, the Adler Planetarium, a tour of Soldier Field, the Lincoln Park Zoo, and the American Girl Store.

That weekend our good friends from Springfield, the Yeagers, came for a visit. We always enjoy visits with them. The kids had a sleepover in the basement, and then we spent Father's Day at the zoo and beach. Andrew and Laura were sad to see the Yeagers go, and we look forward to seeing them next time we head South or they head North.

We finished off June with Drake family camping, which is always a favorite for the kids. I don't have pictures of that either, which tells me that I need to be little better about bringing my camera places. :)

We had a great time and now we're having a nice, relaxing July. Or at least we're having a nice July.
