May and June

My sister Anna graduated this May.
All of my siblings were in town except Amy who was in
Germany on a college trip.



The proud nieces and nephews were there as witnesses.


Grace is soon to be 3 next week. She is all girl-very into shoes and clothes. She doesn't let her older brothers and sister boss her around either. She has quite the voice to show her displeasure when others are not playing fairly.



Jonathan just finished 1st grade and loves reading. He reads more in one day that I can read in a week or two. I am thrilled that he enjoys it so much. Katherine finished Kindergarten but completed all the same work as Jonathan (since we homeschool). She too is an avid reader. Jonathan and Katherine love reading the Boxcar Children and discussing what the mysteries were about. I am glad they have each other to dialogue with because I cannot keep up with their books anymore! David is soon to start Kindergarten in the Fall. He has already unofficially begun and is anxious to learn to read so he can catch up on all the books.



This last month we purchased a wooden swing set for the backyard. Due to the business of life it has taken quite awhile to get it all pieced together. My dad and Jeffrey worked on it two full days with lots of helpers. I will have more updated pictures of the finished project.
