Summer Marches On

Despite these comments by the kids, we really do try to practice good dental hygiene.  

Kate one morning before church:  Mom, can I not brush my teeth today?  
Me:  Go brush them!
Kate:  But I'm wearing a mask!

Scott after leaving his dental cleaning appointment:  They spent forever scraping all of the plaque off of my back teeth- the ones no one can even see! 

Always a treat when the kids get to play with their cousins!

I'm not sure what's more impressive- the double rainbow or the stacks of firewood that Jon has cut.  Anyone have a marshmallow that needs roasting?  We've got you covered!

Swim lessons were a hit again this year!  The kids continued to make progress, and Kate became much braver in the water.

Celebrating the 4th of July!

A couple of neighbors put on quite a fireworks display that we enjoyed from the front porch!
