Summertime fun

This is Emerald posing like a flamingo before swim lessons

I just wanted to post some cute shots of the kids. I love these little angels so much! They are so much fun (well, most of the time). I am amazed at how well they play together, too. We are in the middle of summer. Right now we just got back from the lake, visiting my parents and aunt/uncle for the 4th. We are heading to Lawrence to visit a former student and her mom, who is doing a college tour. We only hope she ends up close to us!

Next we are heading to Omaha to go to a funeral for Skip's aunt Dolly. We will miss her very much. She was such a caring, sweet woman and was always so generous to all of us. May God welcome her into heaven with a smile!

Emerald finishes up swim lessons this week. She has had a great time. Calvin loved walking with mommy around the track. They have numbers painted on the track, and he referred to himself as a "number monster" as he "ate" up the numbers when we walked by. The location of the lessons was across the street from Garmin, so the entire time we were walking around the track he would wave and call out to daddy. Daddy, hope you could hear his happy squeals.
