Summer

Summer...a time when my entire household is home. Husband, kids, everyone. I don't have to make school lunches, don't have to run out the door in the morning, sleeping in, staying up late. Last night the power was out and we all played Uno by flashlight until after 11:00 p.m.

We just got back from our summer vacation. Lots of driving on winding roads. Visited family in Bakersfield, then stayed with family up in Kelseyville. We are always spoiled when we stay with our dear friends the Moser's. Lots of good food, old movies, sleeping in, wonderful conversation, and beautiful scenery.

On Friday we went white water rafting. We highly recommend Rock-N-Water on the American River. Support our Christian brothers and sisters! We had an awesome time...so much fun! Taught us a lot about working together as a team and as a family. Also saw special friends Dan & Jackie with their beautiful new daughter Charlotte! They were nice enough to feed us and let us spend the night after our day of rafting when we smelled like "river funk".

Before we left my wonderful husband coordinated the re-stucco of our house. Gone are the "eyebrows" (that's what the kids called them) that was above our front windows for a year and a half! We are very happy and blessed with the wonderful home God has provided.

Happy Fourth of July!
