A Fun Week

This has been a LONG week. Stephen has been in Germany for almost two weeks and will be coming home on Friday. We cannot wait to have him home. In the meantime, Chloe and I have been trying to keep ourselves busy. We have stayed with Grammy and O'Pa and we have stayed at home some. Thanks to Grammy and O'Pa for all of the support while Stephen has been gone!! We went to VBS with Elizabeth two times last week and Chloe had a great time. We also visited with Elizabeth today, but my camera would not work. Here are a few pictures taken last week.



These pictures were taken at Mr. Richard and Mrs. Janice's pool.... thanks so much for letting us come and swim. We had the pool all to ourselves. Chloe had a great time!!






Mr. Richard also came to Grammy and O'Pa's and brought us some delicious corn, Chloe loved to hold the corn, so Mr. Richard gave her a piece of her own.





On Saturday night, we went to Becky's house for a family reunion and Chloe got to meet lots of new cousins. Some of our cousins were shooting fireworks as all the rest of us sat on the porch and watched. All of a sudden, one of the large fireworks turned over and started shooting right at the porch instead of up in the air!! Everyone dove to the ground and everyone especially tried to protect Chloe. All I remember is just lunging for her and trying to get myself over her. We are so blessed that no one was injured... it could have turned out very bad. It was a night I will never forget.

This is a picture of Chloe watching Grammy make her famous chocolate chip cookies to take to the reunion. My camera unfortunately would not work at the reunion, so I did not get to take any pictures.
