Summer recap...so far

Our summer so far has been jam packed with fun.  In fact, this week has really been the first week we haven't had much going on.  By not much, I mean two out of town doctor's appointments, but really it's been a relaxing week.  So here goes our June recap:

Week 1: VBS AND swim lessons...back to back.  Talk about exhausting for all of us!  But Sam had a blast at both and we had a great turn out.  The best part is that 4 kids decided to accept Christ into their life!  Made all the exhaustion worth it for sure!
Week 2: Swim lessons continued...Sam LOVED them.  I think what he liked most was the sucker he would get every day after they were over, but nonetheless we are learning to swim which is the most important part.
Week 3:  My sister and her family came down from Colorado AND Jared was at youth camp.  So I spent the week at my mom's hanging out with them and getting to 1. love on my nephew and 2. get pampered by my sister.  We had a blast and I'm so looking forward to the next visit. :)
Week 4 (currently):  Monday Nate went for his 9 month check up (even though he turned 10 months on the 26th...).  He's doing great...pulling up on everything and cruising/climbing on everything!  He's way more rambunctious than Sam was at this age, but I guess he's got a big brother to look up to!  Today I had a check up with my RA doctor.  He decided to put me on some meds that should help with my flare ups.  Only thing is they're shots I have to give to myself once a week!  Yikes!!! I'm a little nervous about that, but it's the best thing for us since we're not ready to be done with our little family just yet. ;)

So...that's been our fun filled summer so far.... We're planning a little family vacation to the Houston/Galveston area in July and I can't tell you how excited I am about that!  I'm ready to get away just the four of us for some fun family time.

Now that our crazy June-ness is over, I've got lots of crafts I'm planning on working on too.  Some for school, some for the house, and some for Christmas...already!  I've got to get my craftiness going during the summer when I actually have time and energy bc once August hits...exhaustion sets back in again! :)

Hope you guys are all enjoying your summers...if anyone out here is still following me after so long!  Sorry...
