How I Spent My Summer Vacation (Part 1)

I am ashamed it's been so long since I've posted anything, but here's our latest pictures from the last week...


Youth For Christ introduced us to this board game called Settlers of Cattan. Loren and I are both officially hooked now. Here I am playing with Leigh Anna, a YFC volunteer and one of the coolest people ever.

My mom, Sara, and me at the courthouse. Sara worked her butt off for a year to get to where she is at, and we were there to celebrate how awesome she is.

Lily sacked out on the way to Grandpa and Grandma's house in Montana. Some wonderful people from YFC loaned us their cabin for several days, so we dropped the kids off at the grandparents house and got FIVE DAYS to ourselves!!

Our first night at the cabin, we walked down to check out the beach...

The next morning, surfing the internet on Loren's phone. I know, I know. I'm such a nerd.

Too lazy to actually get up from the couch, I shot this looking up at Loren.

A doe and her fawn joined us for dinner one night...

Pretty much the only time we got cleaned up, before going out to dinner at The Wine Cellar and walking on the boardwalk in Coeur d'Alene.

Loren playing a game he affectionately calls "Hillbilly Golf." It was actually really fun.

After five days, we were so anxious to see the girls. We pulled into Superior, Montana, and Abby came running to greet us.

While we caught up with Grandma and Grandpa, Lily toddled around on the grass...

We got a group shot of the girls with the grandparents...

...then Abby went back to being a princess with her "wand."

After getting home from Montana, we went out to dinner at my parents house. Here's Auntie Sara with Georgie and Abby at the inlet, where we used to swim and make mudslides as kids. So many memories...
