Summer Days

So this summer has gone by in a blur! Auntie Ericka and the kiddos came for a week in June and the kids had so much fun! A week later I went to Salem, Oregon for my RET certification and it was an amazing, spiritual and educational experience. I can now practice as a technician and new doors are opening for me! In early July, we took the kids to the Oregon coast for a their first camping experience. It was also for Rob's family reunion in Silver Falls State Park which is luscious and green and COLD!!! I did not pack for cold weather at least for myself, thankfully I had enough sense to pack well for the kids. I will download the pics soon so I can post them. We had a great time and look forward to our next camping adventure in 2 weeks. We are headed to Riggins for white sandy beaches right on the river. We have a family raft trip planned and it should be fun!! Rob finished our flip about a month ago. We have had 2 offers but they were not ideal so we are patiently waiting more offers. In the meantime, Rob has been busy with referral work and we are so thankful for anything that comes our way. Koen and Isaiah have enjoyed swim lessons this summer! Isaiah is a pro swimmer now and Koen...well just likes to splash around. He will get the hang of it eventually, I hope. He is quite the little negotiator with his teachers. I wonder what that means for his future. :) Anyway, we are enjoying our summer and trying to get all the fun in that we can!
