We're having a wonderful summer - the best summer we've had in a long time. It's so nice to not worry about where we'll be living or where Spencer will be working. Jenna turned one, and Grant turned three - I can't believe it!
Friends from Florida came to visit at the end of June, and it was so good to spend time with them. The weather was so nice and not too hot. It was good for them to get a little break from the heat and humidity of the South. We ate a picnic at Holland State Park and then went to Dutch Village. Spencer and I haven't been there since we were kids, and we thought out kids would have fun.
We just got back from a fun family vacation at my parents' cottage. Our family, and both my sisters' families were all together for the whole week. 9 kids ages 6 years - 2 months can be a little crazy, but it was worth it. The weather was perfect so we spent a lot of time in the water.
I've been hanging all our laundry out on the clothes line, which I love to do, and I attempted to plant a vegetable garden for the first time. It's actually doing pretty well, except that I planted the pumpkins way too close to everything else, so they're starting to take over the garden. The tomatoes are also too close together and way too big for the little cages I put around them. Hopefully they still produce lots of tomatoes, because those are Spencer's favorite. Brendan really enjoys going out to pick lettuce or beans for our dinners. I'm already making plans for next year's garden, which will be much bigger.

Grant really wanted Buzz Light Year on his cake, so I did my best.
