Since the last time...

First let me say a few Happy Birthdays...

I realized I never said happy birthday to Heather. Her birthday was back in the end of June. I'm so sorry I never said anything. I think the whole move thing threw me off.

This is the month of birthdays so I am just going to lump them all together right now and say a giant HAPPY BIRTHDAY to...my mom, Tony, JoAnn, Eli and Daniel. We are getting together with my parents on Saturday to celebrate with JoAnn and Daniel. Then on Sunday Daniel's family is getting together to celebrate Heather, Tony, JoAnn, Eli and Daniel, so I'm sure there will be more on all the birthdays soon.

Alright moving on, I don't really have any stories off the top of my head from the last couple weeks, but here is what we've been keeping busy with...

*Unpacking and getting settled. (I am still in the process of getting all the little things unpacked and quite frankly I'm getting tired of it, so I have been taking a day here and there off, which just makes it take that much longer.)

*We headed over to Ohio on the 5th where we spent a few days.

*I was able to spend some more time with my parents, sister and nephew. We also saw both of my grandmas, a couple of my cousins, and my friend Tammy and her kids.

*Ty taught JoAnn how to play on the slip 'n slide and also how to play in the sprinkler.

*We celebrated my mom's birthday.

*I saw one of the girls I taught with at Faith my first two years, Gil. She is from England and is now teaching in Cairo, so I hadn't seen her in a while.

*We came back to Indiana last Friday.

*Saturday we spent the morning swimming and hanging out with Ryan, Heather and their kids.

*Sunday was church again. Have I mentioned I really enjoy our church. I know it has its problems just like every other church, but it is fun to take advantage of the sunday school/nursery and listen to a good sermon in English. (FYI...Isaiah went to a nursery for the first time.) I think this will be big for me for a while.

*This week Daniel has been working at a basketball camp a the IBA.

*Last night JoAnn went with Daniel's mom to see my nieces, Avery and Ella, swim in their last swim meet of the year.

Here are a few pictures from our time in Ohio...

She wasn't so sure about the slip 'n slide at first. She's a little spoiled in this area, she's only ever played in a pool or the ocean.

The 3 grandkids on my side. JoAnn, Tyus and Isaiah.

My dad trying to teach JoAnn how to play the video game she got from Tammy and her kids. (By the way, she loves it. Thanks so much Tammy.)

JoAnn still loves holding Isaiah.

*Oh. How could I forget. I finally got the diamond in my ring set again and my rings sized, so one of the most exciting things is that after months of not being able to wear my engagement/wedding rings I got them back last week and am able to wear them again. I'm so excited, it's like getting them for the first time all over again. Well, sort of.
