Catching up for June!

Hello! Here are our June highlights in a nutshell (Make sure to check out the SmileBox that follows this posting too):

We got to hang out with Katie and Josiah (my sister and nephew)when they came early on in June for a little family time. Josiah was showing Avalon the proper way to execute the baby swing sitting position. He's a pro!

Father's Day was busy! Ava made breakfast in bed for Mark. She is really quite proficient in the kitchen! Then we went to mom and dad's church and their Park'n'Praise car show after the service. We also hung out with the rowdy in-laws, who showed up just in time for some food, croquet, and ladder ball. Competition has never been so hot! Chuck (Mark's dad)re-enacted a scene from weekend at Bernie's (snapshot in Smilebox). My dad, on the other hand, is trying out for Abercrombie modeling (snapshot also in SB).

Mid June was when we got to have Avalon's cousin Zoee over. We took advantage of our nearby park. Zoee showed Ava what playing hard is all about. =)

Later in June, we celebrated Mom's birthday by going to Red Lobster. Only the best treatment for the Queen! She even held a lobster. Yuck. Mom and dad also celebrated 35 years of marraige on June 30th. Congrats you guys!

Lastly, yours truly and her other half have been slaving away on the landscaping. Literally, slaving away... it started out fun, but you know how that turns out. I was working on our back hill, completely rearranging the 2,000 sq foot butterfly garden. Mark was in the front yard, working on our retaining wall. No picturs of these yet, but will get some posted soon.
