End of Summer

Our summer traveling is at an end and we are back in Missouri preparing for class to begin on Monday the 17th. We've been busy with settling in and helping other students settle in too. We've been enjoying our time together as a family.

We were privileged to be in Wichita to welcome Jared's Dad home from a six-month deployment in Kuwait.


We all enjoyed a day at a waterpark near Wichita.
Especially Dad, who was still adjusting to the eight hour time change

Carolyn warmed up to Pops pretty quickly.
We're not sure who's taller -- or blonder.
We also spent a day at the zoo.




We celebrated our 4th anniversary while in Wichita.




We celebrated Dieneke's 24th Birthday early at Jared's parents' house.
Henry always loves a good chocolate cake
Carolyn has her very own bicycle now!
Henry is getting so big now and is learning new things all the time.
