July...

July is almost over already. That means that Bruce will be in kindergarten next month and Levi is almost 18 months old! When I was a child growing up, I always wanted to be older and grow faster, and now I want my kids to stop growing so fast! It is funny how things are different when you are older, and the parent. We went on vacation to IA to see family and then on our way home to NC stopped in MO for a day to see more family. For the most part we had a fun and interesting trip. The worst parts were the drive to IA and the drive home to NC. On our way there, we went about 30 miles in 3.5 hours because there was a rockslide on the foothill of the mountain leaving NC and heading into TN. And then on our way home a tanker flipped over on I-60 and we had to go 3 hours out of our way!

While we were gone Levi grew about 2 inches and can now reach the doorknobs and twist them, but hasn't figured out how to pull them yet. Bruce also grew, in his feet! His feet got bigger by 2 whole sizes! We were only gone almost 2 weeks and they both went through grow spurts. Matt started back to work this Monday and is now doing training in the field this week and next, so having time off with him was really good!

I took almost 500 pictures while we were gone and may add some on here a little later, but probablly not all of them!

All in all, we are all doing pretty well and are glad to be back home! God bless and have a wonderful rest of the week!
