We are back!

So, we haven't really been blogging lately...obviously. So far we have had a very busy summer! We spent a week at the cabin. Gracelyn loved being outside and on the lake!! Then Ben's brother got married - Congrats Bruce and Shannen! Ben had been waiting for the "father/daughter dance" since the day we found out that they were getting married!

I have only been working 4 days a week so I am really enjoying the extra time off. We try to do fun things on my day off so we take advantage of the beautiful summer weather! Yesterday we went to the Madison zoo with my cousin Lisa, her two kids (Delaney and Dayne), my mom and dad, sister, sister-in-law, and my nephew Camden. We had an amazing time. I have noticed that watching Camden walk has peaked Gracelyn's interest and she wants me to walk her around more often. She still wants to hold on to both of my hands, but I am hoping within the month she will be walking on her own! She is frusterated and I want to end her frustration.

On a sadder note, and partly the reason I haven't wanted to blog, my cousin Kjersten passed away on July 14th. We were blessed to have 30 wonderful years with her and know that God must have really needed her in order to take her away from us so soon. She will always be in our thoughts and hearts.

Hi Jenna! Nice to see you the other day :). Sorry I was super rushed - we were on our way to Phoenix Park to listen to music and wanted better seats than we usually get. That was my first time in that store and it looks great! Hope you had fun shopping with your mom :).
