We had a great weekend to wrap up the month of June and welcome in the month of July!
Zeke finished his swimming lessons on Friday. He did such a great job this week! He is learning to doggy-paddle, can put his head all the way under now, and can swim by himself across the pool using a pool noodle.
Saturday, we hung around the house and played outside. It was hot, so we stayed in the shade as much as possible. I finished Gendaling's stocking, except for adding the fuse stabilizer and sewing on the back, then adding her name in glitter glue. That won't take long at all!
My next project is this Nativity wreath! I'm excited about this one and plan to start today.
Sunday morning, some of the kids in our church played the handbells! They played "America the Beautiful" and "In the Garden." It was their first time playing, and they did such a great job!
Sunday evening, we went to a community fellowship at a duck lodge not far from our house. They had a big waterslide for the kids, lots of barbeque chicken and side dishes, and the best fireworks show I've ever seen! It was a fun evening, and we didn't get home until after 9:00 (which is late for us.)
Mikaela, Kenneth, and the kids came in for the week, so we went to visit them this morning. It's so good to hug those little necks! Zeke and Zoey had fun playing with their toys. Something different always feels so fun, right?
How was your weekend?
That nativity wreath reminded me there a set of felt ornaments I want to make for my grandkids. I need to get busy! In The Garden is one of my favorite hymns. It was my grandmother's favorite and she used to hum it as she worked. Have a happy 4th! Looks like you're having lots of family fun this summer.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes I wanted to get a good head start on some of my Christmas crafts, especially as these Bucilla kits take me a while!
DeleteThe event at the duck lodge sounds like so much fun- the water slides must have been a blast for the kids. Congrats to Zeke and his accomplishments in the water. Pictures of the kids are so cute :).
ReplyDeleteThanks! We did have a good time! It’s so easy to talk myself out of going places but I’m glad I didn’t this time.
DeleteThat sounds like such a fun weekend! The stocking turned out great.
ReplyDeleteThanks!! I loved the design! Gendeling likes penguins, so Eli picked that one out for her.
