And the summer flies along...

Time sure goes by fast, doesn't it?? Here we are in July already, and looking forward to celebrating our nation's birthday tomorrow! We are getting together with our Brentwood friends tomorrow for a BBQ!

The kids went to VBS here in Brentwood last week and they had a fantastic time! I asked the kids what their favorite part of VBS was: Lizzy's favorite part was the singing and getting to see Mrs. Betti and Mrs. Arnold and Dan's favorite part was snack time. haha! That doesn't surprise me, although he did enjoy the crafts too.

Nathan and Kenny are leaving on Thursday to go to Santa Barbara to move Kenny's mom up here to Brentwood, so we'd appreciate prayer for that trip and all of the logistics involved. We are looking forward to have her near us and having the kids get to know Grandma better! :)

We haven't really had a relaxing time yet, even though school is done. Seems like our days get filled up quickly with activities and such. It's all fun stuff, but makes our time go by quickly. We'll be traveling in a week or so to go down to my parents' house for 10 days.

We are enjoying our new kitty Louie. He's hilarious to watch and he harasses poor Belle until she can't stand it anymore. He seems to think that her tail is his own personal toy to grab at. He also thinks that she wants to be pounced on, chased and that she wants to share her food with him. Belle is rather grumpy about the whole ordeal, but she tolerates him as long as he doesn't get too close.

We wish everyone a blessed and happy 4th of July! Remember to put your flag out and thank God for our freedoms that we enjoy in this country.
