Happy Summer

 It's what's written on our letter board. 

Happy Summer. 

Indeed.  Happy Summer!  We are happy it's summer.  2021.  I still get mixed up what year it is, truly! I think its been a couple years since I last wrote.  I really do forget.  But its so fun to look back on things we've done, faith journeys, and of course photos.  I do struggle a bit with how much to share and I think that prevents me at times from sharing my life.  It can definitely be a highlight reel, but it can also lead to unnecessary judgements. 

Last year we were just getting some landscaping done. We had to build up our yard and dirt was EVERYWHERE!  Ella had horse lessons. We tore down the old house across the yard. We went to Disney World/Land! We thought we had the Corona!  We planted some new trees.  The grass came in!  We got a puppy!  We had a nice warm spring.  We lost a cat and got a new one! We enjoyed some great dates in Minneapolis.

We've enjoyed many fun things and experiences the last couple years. Of course this is a highlight reel and I haven't posted the hard, the ugly, and the miserable.  But all the same-- we have to experience the rain before the growth.
