This summer Levi's Grandpa and Aunt Becky came out for a visit. They were with us for a few weeks, then went up to Michigan to see family, then back here for a few more weeks. During that time we had lots of family outings, dinners, and fun. The last week of their stay Uncle Joe came out to join us and we all had a wonderful time. We are thankful for all of these times with family, the Lord is so gracious and kind.

At the beginning of June we took a trip to St. Thomas, USVI for my friend Amy's wedding. It was a wonderful time with friends, a neat celebration of marrige, and a few days of just alone time for Levi and I as well in St. John, USVI. We saw some amazing beaches and views like I've never seen before. The boys were busy in KC with Grandma and Grandpa Ballew for the week. The did a lot of swimming, hiking at the nature trail, played at parks and Deanna Rose farmstead. It was an enjoyable start to the summer for us all to say the least.
