Greg thought it would be fun to celebrate his birthday and Father's Day with broken arms. (Strangely, 3 of the last 4 years, our family has had someone in the family have a surgery in June. Last year Liz was in the hospital on Greg's birthday. This year, at least, we were home). We are so grateful for Greg. He is such a great husband, father, and provider. He is fun and spiritual. He is so kind and forgiving. He is awesome! Greg turned 38 this year. He has been graduated from High School for 20 years now!
One of our big plans for June was to paint our basement. We hired someone to finish it for us, but wanted to save a little bit of money by painting it ourselves. Our basement is quite large. They needed us to have the painting done by a certain date. When Greg got hurt guess who that fell to. Me! I killed myself getting it done. Adam helped me a little, but then was gone at a camp. I also had the help of our amazing friend Rebecca Murphy for one day. I ended up buying a nice paint sprayer. Man those things are awesome, but the prep work is grueling. I was so proud of myself for getting it done though. Yeah, I am glad June is over.
Adam enjoyed a week away at a music camp at Luther College in Decorah, IA. He loved it! I was so glad he was able to go. It was great for him to be with other talented kids. He really enjoyed having some private piano lessons with college professors. He also enjoyed his Keyboarding workshop and Chamber Choir. The food was great. He got to play sports every night. He liked his room mate. He was a happy boy.
Lizzy enjoyed a theater class here in town. At the end of the week they put on a performance. It was a little bit of acting, singing and dancing. She really enjoyed it. It has been fun to find some new things that she can enjoy since she is not able to do gymnastics yet. The performance was really fun.
We threw in swimming lessons for two weeks along with several doctor's appointments. I also got to drive Greg to work and home again. It felt incredibly busy, just like May:)
The last week of May brought my Auntie Ann and my cousin's wife, Ya-Ping for a quick visit. It was great to see them even it was quick. Ann always makes me feel special and Ya-Ping is so kind and left a basket full of handmade hair bows for the girls. Thanks for stopping on your way through.
There you go. That's June in a nutshell. Next up... Vacation posts!

I wanted to see pictures of the basement! Do you have any? Your summer sounds so busy but I guess ours has been too. It's like Christian's dad always says, "better busy than bored!"
I can't wait to see pictures from your trip too!
If you feel special when I am there, it is because you are!! Thanks for the shout out. I loved spending even that short a time. And we get to see you next summer, too :) Leah, the basement looked great. Tammy did an amazing job. I would have loved to see Lizzy perform.
