Making a new friend



We are enjoying the summer, at last! Sunshine and clear skies. Andy and I took a trip to see Grandma and Papa. We all enjoyed a big day at the Evergreen State Fair. Emily won First Place in her category and a Chairman's Award. Annabelle won First Place in her category and Third in the overall Art Show!! I am a proud mama. The beautiful day called us outdoors today for a wonderful hike on the Old Robe Trail. We jumped creeks, shimmied over logs, and discovered a little piece of heaven.

All the Host Families and Students

It was a sad day, Akari went back home to Japan. 3 weeks went so fast, we really just got to know her. Akari is a sweet, smart, helpful girl who is very artistically talented. The girls had a lot in common, but also learned so much from each other.

Summer Fun 2011

It is a busy summer, not really sunny, but busy.
Things kicked off with the 4th of July, then the girlies helped out at a Bible Camp, we have a Japanese student staying with us, Akari, and we are all trying to soak up as much sun as we can.

Michael is grilling and working on the yard, he says that it is very therapeutic. I got to go to Orlando for the Zumba Convention-WOW! Andy plays and plays, and the girlies are enjoying friends and a little down time from their studies.

There is still so much left on our summer "to do" list-blue berry picking, Jetty Island Excursion, hiking, a campout, more grilling, and hopefully a trip to Vancouver. Can we fit it all it?
