The month started out with my birthday. It was a really low key birthday complete with breakfast doughnuts, yoga, an awesome birthday crown, and a day of just being pampered.
We ran in to a yellow motorcycle that Eliza and Lenora loved!!
One week we re-created parts of Fancy Nancy's Oh-La-La Beauty Spa. The facials were a hit!
Instead of just meeting up with friends at the park for play groups, we've set up a "hiking" group instead. Each week we've checked out different fun spots close to home. There are so many awesome things to do close to our home! We may not have mountains, but the beauty of the Iowa rivers and streams is really growing on us. Here's the High Trestle Trail bridge. It was incredible!
| Eliza and her best friend Abe. These two are adorable together. |
| Hazel and Rose. |

Of course we've had some general silliness!
| Daddy lied down after a busy day and these two decided to snuggle up as well. |
Stream near a local park. We had so much fun here for hiking group we had to bring Kiara and Daddy back that night. Kiara loved her swim!
We've done lots of reading! Even Lenora is catching the reading bug. Gram Dot would be so proud!
We did have one really, really rainy day and had some water get in our basement.We were certainly being watched over though. I felt prompted to go check on it and caught the leak early so most of the water was directed to a bucket. AND all the water was in the unfinished portion of our basement. It was an easy clean up and an easy repair, plus we got our last few boxes unpacked - yay! The only major loss was my very first pair of pointe shoes. All things considered though, we feel so thankful it wasn't much, much worse.
Beautiful girls all ready for church one Sunday.
We've had a great start to summer! So glad we have a few more months left.
