The first half of summer

This blog is becoming a laughing stock in it's consistency in scrapbooking our family life.  Or anything else really.  But since I really do want to have some picture books for the kids to look through someday, here are some updates, several months late.

The two oldest at a graduation party.  Probably early June.

Kids in the present Jaret brought home from Ikea on a business trip

 I was the VBS assistant this year.  This little buddy was my constant companion. Definitely was not into being left in the nursery.

 Practicing his walking

 Fun times swimming

 Daddy date at the yogurt shop

 and the park

 Joel and Christina stopped off for a visit during their cross country move

A favorite activity

 Many spoons being offered the baby

Sorting

 Daddy date to a free game compliments of Jaret's business associates

 Jaret and his siblings and spouses all took his parents out for their 60th birthdays.  It was last minute, so Pierce and Navy came with us due to babysitting.  This was me trying to keep him happy after sitting with a table full of adults for an extended period.

 Teething baby

 Daddy date.  Ordering from the adult menu.  :)

It's crazy to look back at these pictures from early summer and realize how things have changed.  Pierce walks and runs without thought.  I half forgot that that was an issue any time in the recent past.  He is also so much more easily entertained at places like restaurants than he was a few months ago.  Small blessings.  :)
