Going for a walk

Paul's latest...

Yep, Paul is now standing on his own. Each day he'll stand a little bit longer--the max so far is probably 30 seconds. He's also cruising around the furniture, and walking behind push toys. Won't be long before his first steps! Watch out, big brother--I'll be running after you before you know it!

Our two-week adventure

We're all back home, after two weeks away. Jonathan attended the synodical convention in Houston, and then went on to the youth gathering in New Orleans. I decided I didn't want to spend the time home alone with the boys, so we spent a week in Iowa with my parents. Then we were in Michigan at my grandma's for about a week. My parents, sister, brother, and their families were all there for part of the time, too.

Wagon ride--if you look closely you'll notice Benjamin has his arms around Paul. It was with no prompting! I was in shock!

Time for some music

Month of June

*Paul's first trip to the beach--loved the sand! Delicious!

*Short trip to New Jersey to see Aunt Mary, Uncle Ken, and Grandma. Taking a load off--they always have so much for us to do! =)

Don't let the outfit fool you--we've had a warm June!

*Happy Father's Day, Daddy! We love you! (Even if we don't always want our picture taken with you!)

*Visit from Uncle David, Grandma, and Grandpa. We did some sight-seeing and had a lot of fun playing together!

Phew! What a busy month!
