A 21st-Century Girl...

I was hanging out with Kaylin recently and she asked me to move a couple of chairs into position for her. After doing as she asked, I went back to surfing the web. Meanwhile, as she often does, she began to situate her dolls on the chairs. However, instead of just lining up various dolls on the two chairs, she took a seat on a chair herself. Then, she put another doll on her lap and hollered to me, "Daddy, take a picture and put it on the blog." Just as before, I did what I was told! =) Here it is...

Brutha & Sista!

What a big boy!

Camp Has Begun!

The first week of camp is winding down at Frontier Ranch. I spent May 28 through June 10 training the summer staff... it was a wild, long couple of weeks... but it's always great to have the staff arrive for training! There will be 6 weeks of elementary (4-6 grade) camp and 4 weeks of jr. high (7th-9th grade) camp at Frontier Ranch this summer. Here's a picture from week #1 and below is a glimpse into this summer's theme.

2006 Theme: Frontier Safari
Welcome explorers! Are you ready to go on safari? The Frontier Tour Company has planned an exciting trip just for you! This week’s tour will be an action-packed expedition through the African savannah. We’ll take in some amazing scenery and encounter many exotic animals! It should be a great time… but if the going gets rough, we’ll be searching for an oasis where we can take refuge. So grab your canteens and your safari hats, and get ready for the best adventure on both sides of the equator! “As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.” - Psalm 18:30

A visit from Grams

Grams was the next to join the parade of visitors, staying with us during the week of June 5th. I was still in the midst of my 2nd staff training week so it was very helpful to have her here.

Lots of Visitors!

"Grammy" & the kids

We've been blessed to have lots of help from Kaylin and Trevor's grandmas. My mom came a couple weeks ago, Amy's mom just left and Earlene is coming tomorrow! We are so thankful to have the extra help... since camp season is starting up right now.

"Gramma" & the kids

Trevor is now 5 weeks old... He's beginning to smile and make cute, little sounds. Kaylin is enamored with her baby "brudder." She gives him kisses, talks to him, helps mommy change his diaper, etc.

We also enjoyed a visit a few weeks ago from Amy's sister DeeDee and her family (see pic below of the cousins).
