Visitors!

Last week our dear friends Jean and Dave visited with their son Atticus, all the way from New Zealand!  It was a wonderful reunion. 

The kiddos:

Atticus, Neva, Frances and Liem.  Neva and Frances are very concerned for Liem.

The last time Jean, Kristen and I were together there were 0 children between us...now there are four! 

A bit of down time after all the excitement...



Four months!

It's hard to believe our little Frances is already a chubby, smiling, cooing, four month old baby!  She is such a delightful girl!

I never can get myself to knit scarves and sweaters in the summer, so I worked on this star garland for Neva's room. She is quite pleased with them!

We've been....

Keeping cool with big buckets of water...

Catching up on our reading...

Relaxing...

Resting in the shade...

Cheering on Frances as she holds her head up high!
