Summer!

It's been awhile since I've been able to post.  Our first three weeks back we were staying with Colin's mom and she didn't have internet.  While this was actually really nice in some ways and not feeling the pressure to "connect" all the time, it was a bit tough when we wanted to get in touch with friends, check email, or do a blog.  We stopped by a the coffee shop on occasion to use wifi and have a few days to catch up on things.

Our summer so far has been so nice and we've had a lot of fun falling back into the swing of life here at home.  The first couple weeks back we were blessed with cooler weather, wind, and rain, which for us, was awesome.  We loved being able to bundle up and wear clothes that hadn't touched our bodies in months!  Once the sun came out, we have tried to get out daily and enjoy the outdoors, even if it's just a park trip or playing in the yard. 

Since it's getting towards my bedtime, I'll sum up our time here so far in the pictures below with captions.  We've been having a blast!

 Aberly and Papa played in the sprinklers once afternoon that wasn't too cool.

 Aberly wore Nana out!

 Happy in the cool weather!

 Ah, Bend...

 Having a darn good time at the Deschutes Brewery 25th Anniversary Party in the Park

 Happy 32nd birthday to me!

 Aberly went to VBS at our church in Bend and loved it.

 A bowling champ!  Look at that form.  Papa would be proud.

 Aberly picked up driving the bumper cars almost too easy...

 Our happy 3 month old!

 Playing and reconnecting with buddies here in Bend.
