Our Beautiful Summer....2010

Hi! Thank you for visiting me, and my family this summer! I know everyone is so busy doing all kinds of fun things, and getting ready for the upcoming school year... So I really appreciate you stopping by to visit us.  We too, have been doing some fun things the past month.  As I was collecting my pictures, I realized we have done quit a bit, and so this post is going to be photos... photos for our friends, and family, that I haven't had a chance to keep up with on a regular basis..(sorry.. HUGS!) I am still alive! I will be getting back to my weekly blogging soon.. I have lots of things to I would like to post on.... School room re-do, planning, Five in a row schedule etc... Daddy is doing good, we are hitting our 3 MONTH mark this week!!!!  And we just celebrated our 9 year anniversary.... yeah! He is workin' hard, and missin the fam.

He sends us postcards every single day! The kids love getting them.. I posted a bulliten board outside their door to their room, that they put them on. A great blessing for them! 

But for now, Here are my sweeties enjoying their summer!

Koln Zoo adventure day. This is incredible Hippo exhibit!

They also have a wonderful monkey habitat as well.

Up to Holland,

We FINALLY got to visit the Noah's Ark! IT was perfect.

I was really impressed with all the information there was in the Ark, very cool. and in many diff languages.

They had a special area of other bible stories, with little videos telling each story, and some "this is what it might have looked like" exhibits for each story.. very cool. JT was thrilled to see Joseph's coat, since he has been learning about him in Sunday school....

Noah...

Isn't that just amazing?

Gramma and kids!
