From latest to earliest this summer, you'll have a little glimps of our lives. The latest camera we have is by far of lesser quality than the one my dad gave us at Ranne's birth. Alas, that one wore out so when we bought this one, we were very saddened by the lack of quality. Taking pictures just hasn't been as rewarding so there are not as many.

First Birthday Sleepover! Backpacks ready....
Just sweetness. We play a lot here on Mountainside church's playground.
Once a year or so, ladies from the 'westside' get together for a fancy dinner out, or desserts, or whatever they can come up with. This time it was high tea at: St. James Tearoom. Very fun!
Here is Kristine and Rebekah:

And of course, we wouldn't know our neighborhood nearly so well if we didn't have Ranne in our lives. Here are several friends he's aquired.
This is one special dude. We haven't seen him in a few weeks and intend to hunt him down here soon, hopefully tonight. Maybe he went to be with his Dad in TX? We miss him.
Ball games! Here the boys are watching a UNM softball game. A CSC student was playing on this team until recently.
Our dear neighbors' son and Ranne's good buddy. His Hulk seems to be the pillow for yard lounging and also seems to be the dummy for testing dangerous stunts they scheme up.
Scott and I were very blessed with a trip to CO. A ministry there allows ministers and their spouses to stay for free when the cabins are not in use. The couple who keeps the camp going even had us for dinner: elk burgers (that the wife shot), baked fries, salad,.... Amazingly good. Here are pics of the hike we went on and our cabin where we stayed. It was bigger than our house: three bedrooms, two baths, etc.
Yes, we gave the boys their birthday gifts at least a month late. The football Ranne is opening and adored was stolen the next day, while we were on that trip to CO and the boys were at a softball game with their friends. Bummer.
Oops. Somehow this got pushed to the end. Well, she's cute. It's a good ending.

The boys have grown and changed... I'm so grateful for your blogging. Maybe it's good that we've never had a high-quality camera. I'm quite happy with poor quality pics. We'll keep your neighbor children in our prayers.
These are wonderfully grand adventures you're having! That scenery, cabin, and unique experience in Colorado sounds really, really lovely!!
High tea? Wwwwow!!!! Another interesting experience I've never had! Everything so beautiful! Aah! (Somehow "High tea" and I don't really seem to go together. Don't you have to sit quietly and be very lady-like? ;) heehee)
Ranne going around making all those friends is just CLASSIC -- and cutely humorous, too, yes. ;)
OH, I just want to HUG.YOU.ALL! It's been toooooo long, argh!! :( And bound to be a while longer, too, from everything I know to expect.... :( :( :( (Hate that, about living here ... but ... I will redouble my efforts at contenting myself, and practice being thankful for the blessing the Internet is, and your willingness to share your life this way!!!)
