Midwest Travels and Birthdays!

We have now finished our birthday month (June 23-July 26) and have had a great time with family, friends, and churches during the first part of the summer!  Here are some pictures from Michigan and Illinois.  I'll make one big Wisconsin post soon.

Cousin reuninion in Michigan.  Emily and Elena have had a lot of fun together!

Elena's birthday at Grams' house. 

Excitement catching their first fish at the trout pond with Grandpa.

Shooting some video for our new DVD presentation...in progress.

Levi, a Wisconsin cousin, joined in for NBT in Michigan.  Congratulations, Stephen and Tina on your new baby! 

Back in Illinois, Elena loves to help Grammie with the goats and chickens and donkey.

With Grandad where he used to work at the Rock Island Arensal Army base. 

At the home of John Deere, Moline, Illinoise...playing around on their tractors!

This picture was so funny...Chloe was trying to make Grandad put on his seatbelt, and when he did, she was happy :) 

July birthdays...Abby, Elena, and Elias
