Softball in Sunday dresses

This morning in church a very talented girl sang a beautiful song with the choir. Afterwards Anna Claire leaned over and said, "I bet her throat is sore from all that yelling!" If anyone would know about yelling it's Anna Claire!

We played whiffle ball at a friends house last week - the girl's very first time. We were all surprised when Anna Claire was a good batter. We bought a whiffle bat and balls and practiced in our yard. Why bother to change out of your Sunday dress when you can just throw on a pair of socks and tennis shoes and start swinging?

Fancy Nancy

Anna Claire wore this ensemble to the grocery store today. She was hoping "people would gather around her and notice her."

Home, Sweaty Home!

We got home LATE last night after a 5 hour flight from Seattle and 3 hour drive home. Russ and I are tired today and I still feel like I am rocking back and forth like on the boat. I hope that goes away soon!

After a week in cool and cold temperatures, the deep south feels all right! Snow at the end of June seems wrong.

We had a great trip - one we will never forget!

Amazing Landscape

Words cannot describe the beauty of Alaska! "The heavens proclaim the glory of God ... day to day pours out speech." Psalm 19: 1-2

The Last Frontier!

We have spent the last 7 days on a cruise to Alaska! In the words of my brother-in-law "Alaska is amazing but we are not cruise people!" Despite the line-dancing classes, Bingo, towel-folding demonstrations and buffets we had a great time. The trip celebrated mom's 60th birthday as well as remembering my dad who always talked about going to Alaska.

We enjoyed spending time with my brother and his family who live about 10 hours away. Our girls played and played with their cousins!
