July: Moo, pretty! yum... ow.

Goldilocks went to the grandparents' farm for a cousin camp this summer, so we had Curly Bear all to ourselves for a few days.  She was confused, but really enjoyed all the attention.  We went to Chick-fil-a with our little calf one night.
Here is Goldilocks talking to our wonderful neighbor.  He always has the prettiest flowers and plants!

A rare visit to the living room
The afternoon of July 17th, Papa Bear fell while working on the house and broke his ankle in 3 places. (not going to post the picture here, but we have pictures of his ankle and xrays too!)  We are thankful nothing else broke on his body, but it has been a long painful road to recovery.  He had to wait almost 2 weeks for surgery, had fracture blisters, 3 doctors, and a long surgery, 12 wks  non weight bearing on crutches, weeks of rehab, and he was unable to drive his truck.  We are VERY thankful for the help of neighbors and friends who helped us take care of the kids.

Cakes

Here are a few of the many cakes that have been keeping me busy

we're still here

I have totally neglected the blog for various reasons
1.  Tim broke his ankle in July and used the computer to work from home for awhile.
2.  We moved our pictures to an external drive and sometimes I can't view the thumbnail photos which makes choosing pictures difficult.
3.  I can't upload pictures and watch Netflix at the same time.  Our internet connection stinks.
4.  Goldilocks started kindergarten, and I'm watching a baby during the week

I will try to update with pictures soon...

visit from friends

 My college friend, Amy, lives about an hour from us and brought her boys over to play one day.
 Our kids get along very well and it is always fun to catch up with friends!  My camera was NOT cooperating that day and all the pictures are blurry - boo!

80's night!

 Our friends Marc and Kathy threw a birthday bash for Marc's 40th.  All of the guests came dressed up, 80s style and we had a lot of fun meeting new friends and seeing some old friends we used to go to church with.
