Recently…

 Malia completed her Team 224 bike ride…all 212 miles! It rained for most of their ride on the first day, and she had some lung issues, but I’m so proud that she finished strong and worked so hard to raise money for Gateway Woods! We drove to Leo to welcome the team back. 

Larisa and I went on a little getaway to Holmes County. We enjoyed shopping, talking, laughing, crying, eating, and just spending time together. 

More rainbows! 

Quintin and I finished this 2000 piece puzzle of our family. He’s been working on a lot of puzzles lately. 

I had 3 different-colored roses growing out of the same stem on one of my bushes: 

This squirrel stuck on our chimney provided some entertainment one morning: 

Pretty skies and more rainbows! 

The football team had a car wash on a recent Saturday: 

And finally, picture of a delighted Shiloh in her new McLaren: 

Summer Stuff…

 We spent the 4th of July at Gateway Woods, playing lots of outdoor games with the residents of Pine House. It was good to see Daniel and Shana in their new environment. 

Quintin and I have been going to the library, and he’s actually been reading! 

God has blessed me with a few rainbows lately. He does keep His promises. 

More of His beautiful creation: 

Daniel and Shana spent time swimming at our house when they had a day off. 

More swimming with the fam: 

Daniel and Shana took us around Fort Wayne on a progressive ethnic meal. We had Turkish appetizers, Burmese and Thai main course, and Peruvian desserts. It was all delicious! 

The football team participated in the recent parade in town:

Adrian and Trinity’s Bridal Shower!
