Jubilant June

Since I've used alliterations for the past few posts, I felt compelled to try another one. ;-)  It has been a super enjoyable first couple weeks of June - enjoying the warmer weather and doing "fun" stuff with the kids (almost done with homeschooling for the year - just a few more things to wrap up!  And that's not to say school isn't "fun") :-)

Marvelous May

Well May just came and went now, didn't it?  It was a jam-packed month with spring finally among us, our newborn, home schooling, a FANTASTIC visit from my mom, a staff retreat in Indiana and some projects around the house.  My heart is full and thankful, and I have many a funny story or special moment that took place, but just a handful of photos will have to suffice on this here bliggity-blog.  Reminds me of when it says "Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart" (Luke 2:19).

Spring means bugs, mud and toads!!

Getting stronger during "tummy time."

Micah's last gym class for the school year.

A special treat after gym class.

My mom in town = fabulous!!

Getting bigger everyday.

Siblings' "tummy time."

Joy's dolls' "tummy time."

Staff retreat in Indiana - great time!

Still getting used to the fact that we're a family of 6 now, ha!

-------------------------------

Addendum - wanted to put up Joy's first "bottle feed" (in April) since I got both the brothers' on the blog.  I'm not a scrapbooker so this is my documentation for such things. ;-)  

Micah's Rocket

There is a woman at our church who teaches 2nd grade at a local Christian school.  Another couple from our church helps her class with "Bottle Rockets" every year, and they invited Micah to join in this week.  What fun!  And what a special, memorable experience for him. :-)

Amber in April

We are SO thankful for the family God has given us - here's another narrative in pictures of the past couple weeks or so, starting with another quick video of Amber's cuteness. ;-)
