Summer Fun!

So I did a lot of really fun things this summer, got to see so many different people and go to so many different places! I got to spend time in Arkansas, Cancun, Toronto, Connecticut, New Jersey, Philadelphia, New York, Colorado, and of course Missouri!!! It was a very fun filled seven weeks back in North America! :) Here are just a few random pictures of fun from the summer. I'm sure I'll post some more but I don't feel like I have any exciting Guatemala photos or stories to share with you today! We have just been working in our classrooms and trying to get as much as ready as we can. We do have a long weekend this weekend with a national Catholic holiday celebrated on Friday. Some people are going out of town, but I am going to stay here in the city and visit around and SLEEP and get some shopping done! So anyway, here are some random summer pictures, more from the end of the summer!

The first one here is with my dear friend Rebekah who I grew up with at First Baptist Church. We have had very different paths in our lives but have stayed in touch and try to see each other as often as possible! She and her husband and their three beautiful children are about to head off to serve in Italy! You can check out their blog on my blog roll!

I got the opportunity to spend a lot of time with my niece and nephew this summer. They are growing up so fast and so very precious to my heart! I try to spend as much time with them as I can when I go home! Grace is getting ready to start kindergarten next week!!!!! So hard to believe! I took them to go visit my grandpa in the nursing home!

So cute!

They love to go to the Kansas City Royals' games.......well maybe I should rephrase that to say that they love to eat at the ballpark! I took them to a few games last year so I told them I would take them again this year. We went to two games. They were HOT HOT HOT but fun! Is he not the cutest thing EVER???

The second game I took them to was a kids fun run day so after the game the kids got to run around the bases. I think they had a good time although Grace doesn't look too thrilled in this picture. She must have eaten too much cotton candy!

And this picture was the day that I left! I went to go say goodbye to Grace, Nate, and my sister! Sam came to the airport with us! They are sooooo cute. My sister's blog is on the blog roll too so you can check out some other pretty cute pictures of them!!!
