Preparing Sunday fellowship with friends!!!

Jelyn and I!!!  She has been a great friend to me!!!


Flag Football practice began for all three kids on the 15th, they all seem to like it so far!  We will see at the end of the summer!  This month I also got Alyssa and Daniel registered for soccer in the fall, Hannah opted out of this sport.  She did really enjoy baseball and football as well!!!  I will have to find something to help her pass the soccer season, I am hoping for some school clubs to come available!!!
The middle picture shows how we spent Father's Day with Bill facetiming!  Thank goodness for technology!!!  We love you and miss you lots!  Nothing on facebook about Bill being gone please!
