can you tell I took this picture? :)
Wow. It's been a while since I've written. I think about it all the time and then get busy doing something else. June was a busy month that flew by. Dave and celebrated our 12th anniversary on June 13th. We got to get away for a couple nights to a cozy little cabin. It was so nice and relaxing. We love getting away when we can, but we are always ready to get back to our kiddos.
Erin turned 9 on June 20th. We took her shopping and she realized how fast her money goes. She was adding up all the things in her cart. She had to decide between some things and put something back.....welcome to the real world. :) She also got to celebrate her birthday with her cousins at the lake.
We also got a new puppy in June. He looks alot like Charlie. He doesn't chew up everything like Charlie did. He likes to sleep in his kennel in the girls room. We are NOT good at training dogs. We are good at spoiling dogs. He doesn't mind at all. We have got to work on that. Oh, by the way, he is a miniature dachshund and after two weeks we settled on the name....Copper.
It has been two and a half months since my first surgery and I am really feeling better. My side rarely hurts anymore. It's hard to believe how bad it was. I am so glad it's over and everything turned out like it did.
Dave is going to Russia on a mission trip soon. He is excited about it. Please pray that he will have safe travels and that God will use his team to reach the people there. I am a little jealous because he gets to see our friends from college who are missionaries there and he is going with two of our other friends from college. I know it will be a great trip. He is also going to do a travel blog. I will list the link soon.
