Poconos

Caden getting ready to go fishing.

Addie had some trouble sleeping the first few days. If she was in a room with someone, she would wake up and want to play at the crack of dawn...so after the first few nights of that, she ended up sleeping in the loft all by herself. This is her peeking over the edge of the railing to let us all know she was there :-)

Easy transport to and from the pool

Look at me....I'm a big girl now...still not walking yet, though - any day now!

Caden loves swimming, especially with Daddy.

Patiently waiting for a fish....


Daddy is proud of his catch. He caught a bigger one than that but it hopped back into the water before we could get a picture!

And Caden caught his first fish....but was not as happy as Daddy!

The last week of June, we ventured to Pocono Pines, Pa to stay in a house we rented for the week called "The Lodge" at Lake Naomi. We had a great time. It was warm a few days and chilly some other days. Needless to say, we didn't come home with the tans we wanted, but we did have a lot of fun. Gammy, Gampy and Auntie Kara came with us. Caden, Gampy and Jay enjoyed fishing often. Caden caught his first fish ever, which was exciting at first...until he came out of the water :-) The girls enjoyed shopping at the nearby outlets. We visited a great zoo one day, but mostly just enjoyed the relaxation and quiet of the lake community.

Soccer and Rainbows






Last week, Caden took part in a soccer camp for three-year-olds. He had a great time running around and we hope that maybe he will have a future in soccer :-) While he ran around playing, Addie showed off her new "cheesey" smile. The camp took place in the same town that Jay works in, so we were excited to have Daddy stop by and surprise us to play with Caden.

We have had lots of thunderstorms lately, and one day they brought a rainbow with them....that went right over our front yard. Caden says that "God makes rainbows." And we have to agree with him. Hope you all get to experience a little bit of God's beauty this summer, too.
