Record of Urgent Care Visits (#1)

Unfortunately I'm sure this is only the beginning, and we'll probably loose track after awhile, so I figured I'd keep record.  ...hoping it doesn't get to the point where I stop even keeping track!

Jack: 5 stitches
Fell on a kids' table he was using as a fork lift.  He was pushing it around upside down, with two legs lifted as the forks.  It was actually a great idea...until he hit the transition joint between the wood and carpet.  I took Jack in and had to lay down 3/4 of the way through bc I started to feel sick.  Ryan was home when Lane needed to go in, so he took care of that one thankfully.  I'm gonna have to get a tougher stomach!

Lane: 2 staples (photo after removal)
Fell out of bed during a weekend at the farm.

Until next time...

June 2016

We've had a great summer so far.  Two high lights have been visiting Jensen cousins.  Unfortunately I failed to take any pictures at either place. :/  (I'm stealing a few from Missy from our time on their farm.)  It was fun for me to see my kids having so much fun with my cousins' kids.  We're looking forward to seeing them all again soon at the big reunion!

Anabel was a hit...can't imagine why! ;)

My cousins picked great wives! :)

Taking a break after making themselves
sick on the merry-go-round!

Community Appreciation Day...some of the cutest face paint I've seen!

Another highlight of course was VBS week.  As usual, Lakeside went all out and Jack LOVED it.  Ryan taught at Lakeside's VBS and I went to the Burmese VBS that the youth puts on and worked on English with some of the moms.  Jack and Beth came to help with the boys to help make all of this possible.  A fun AND exhausting week! :)

Chillin' with Grammi & Papa

Puppet show :)

We also got to host some more visitors through the Iowa International Center at the end of VBS week.  This time it was two women from Venezuela.  They are english teachers, so we were able to talk without the help of Google Translate this time. :)  It was fun to have them and I certainly learned a lot!

Milagros & Maribel

Picking black raspberries...another summer highlight.

(These are my new favorite pictures!)

Someone's been watching his brothers play airport!

Scooping, pouring, mixing...focused! 

The boys wanted sprayers...no problem...Dad's got it covered.
