July has brought us lots of fun.
We've had visits from grandparents ready to meet their newest grandson.
1st my mom came to spend 10 days with us. This visit was wayyyy too short. I missed her as soon as we got her from the airport.

Jeremy' parents also got to come visit. Their visit was too short, too. They were only able to come for the weekend.

I wish they all could've stayed longer.
Although these visits were much too short, they were all here to share in a very important moment in David's life...his dedication. Here's a couple of pics from it.
(Thank you Sandra and Stephy for taking pics for us.)

After the grandparents left it was time to start preparing for Austin to go to Jr. High Youth Camp in New Hampshire.
He didn't take any pictures because he was having too much fun, he said, but here's some links to videos taken by someone at camp. They are of all the different youth groups there, but Austin is in all of them.

While Austin was away at camp...which by the way, made the house too quiet...esp. during the day...David and I survived our 1st week truly alone (during the day). Not that we have needed anyways near the amount of help that I had feared we would, it was nice having the company.
We (well Jeremy and Austin) are busy at VBS this week. David and I went the first night, but I think we'll sit out the next couple ones...it's just too much for him. We will go on Thursday for the closing night. I'll try and get some pics...esp of Jeremy in the skits. Jeremy enjoys being a part of VBS in this way.
