Doesn't this picture look exactly what summer should look like? Yes, I can almost feel the warmth, the haze, the sticky sweet of what August should be.

But not in Michigan.

Family visit

July also brought a very special visit from Jon's oldest sister, Justine, and her awesome family. They blessed us with their spirit for 4 days. We swam, went to the nature center, headed to the "po-dunk" county fair and enjoyed Castaway Cafe (a huge indoor jungle gym). But mostly we hung out and enjoyed each others company. Life was simple, and smiles and laughs came easy. We miss them greatly and love them dearly!

A month behind...

Ugh! I can't seem to get ahead, so get ready for a posting marathon this week (crossing fingers)!

My AWESOME preschool had a "going green" kick off with a tree planting ceremony. A local nursery donated a tree and all the kids got together to celebrate with tie dye shirts (look familiar?), healthy snacks, and a lesson about tree's. It was a wonderful and very educational day. We even made the local paper. Horray for Howell Preschoolers Inc.

Here comes the tree (Thanks Leppek Nursery)

The cutest boys in the world (according to me)
