Jude enjoying his first ever popsicle. We were all at Grandma's for a family get-together when the ice cream truck drove by the house. My brother-in-law, who I'm sure has friends in every corner of the world, knew the gal driving the truck. She insisted on treating the whole tribe (fifteen of them) to popsicles, thus Jude got to try a few licks.
Pucker up, baby! The lemon part of the popsicle took Jude by surprise, but he couldn't resist going back for more.
Joel scraped up his face at the family get together. Typical boy, trying to ride on top of the Little Tykes car instead of in it.
Swimming lessons have commenced again. Joel begins each day by putting on his swim suit, optimistic that maybe "today will be the day" that he gets invited into the pool. Poor baby, he's only two and he'll need to wait until next summer to take lessons. In the meantime, I've purchased a small wading pool for our backyard and we have a couple of friends that have invited us to swim in their private pools throughout the summer, so Joel will get plenty of fun in the water.
Elizabeth made her version of the ark containing the jar of manna, the tablets on which the ten commandments were written and Aaron's budded staff as a gift for her Daddy on Father's Day.
My Christmas cactus in bloom. It didn't bloom at Christmas, but I tricked it into blooming (quite by accident) when I put it in a dark room for a couple of weeks recently.
We were blessed to get a visit from my cousin, his wife and their two kids. We haven't seen them in over a year. The kids played and laughed and the adults reminisced and laughed--what fun.
