4th of July!

Happy Independence Day! We hope everyone had a great, but safe, day! We were blessed with a visit from Grandpa Gordon and Grandma Joann. They can stay for a couple of days! We spent most of the day swimming and hanging out by the pool. We went back home to grill porkchops for supper. Grandpa and the girls did a great job! It was such a beautiful day! After supper we went over to the park to light our parachutes (we made the mistake of lighting them at home last night - some poor parachuter is in his new tree home). The girls had a blast chasing down the parachutes! We lit a few more in the evening and saved some for when it got darker. Unfortunately, Jeff is on duty today, but we had some firework fun with Dad last night!

It has been a while since we have updated (no news is good news!). Kerstin continues to feel great! She did wake up ravenous yesterday morning, ate two bowls of Cheerios, and then slept for 3 more hours! We had Vacation Bible School last week which kept us all busy, but very happy! Kerstin gets to visit Dr. G. on Thursday. We hope for more good news!

Have a blessed week!

Hi there Leaf Family!
Man, Kerstin! Looks like there is a PART in your hair! It looks like you guys had a great 4th, and we are so GLAD that you are feeling so well! Parachutes are one of Emma and Abby's favorite fireworks! They love to chase them in the wide open spaces at out house! Guess there is one good thing about not having great big trees!
Just wanted to stop by and say hi and let you know that we are thinking about you! Be good and take care! ((((hugs to you all!)))
