Lots of Fun in July (and early August!)

The month of July seemed to fly by!  Here we are a few days into August already!  Our garden is really flourishing, and we've had almost more produce than we can use.  Our weather has been quite hot and humid, so Lydia and I don't venture out much after 9:00 in the morning. 

Dan and I enjoyed a wonderful trip to Kentucky to visit the Creation Museum while Dan's mom watched Lydia for a few days.  It was really nice to get away, and so good to come home again too :)  The Creation Museum definitely stands apart from other museums as it holds tightly to biblical truth regarding the history of the world.  We found that to be refreshing.

On August 1 my sister Abby got married in Edgerton.  We are so excited for her and Jason to begin their lives together.  Right now they're enjoying a trip to Colorado for their honeymoon.

The sweet corn crew!  I knew they wouldn't stop for a picture, so I had to get one of them in action :)

Cool girl!  She loved wearing those sunglasses around the house.
