It is a wonderful thing that we are together as a family again! I felt like a limb has been missing between all these camps and mission trip, etc. Rob took a vacation week this week- just so we can be together- it has been wonderful. MacKenzie has returned safely from New York and her trip was , of course, amazing. She actually has had some very obvious changes in her life which we have been delighted to see. She has been very patient with her siblings, had a delightful attitude with us, and she is pursuing a daily quiet time....WOW!! How fun is all of that! She grew up quite a bit on her trip and she has many stories to tell. From the mouse that lived in her room chewing on her clothes, to the adventures of travelling through several nights, to lifetime relationships built...she has many stories. We are hoping that she will have a DVD or newsletter sent to all her supporters about her trip...so you can look forward to that.
As for this week- well we have not done much except be around one another. We picked MacKenzie up on Saturday, after almost not making it due to a blown out tire. Since Saturday she has been catching up on sleep and we have been....HOME! We did go to Chelan yesterday to pick blueberries and swim in the lake, but we even took Halle. As the summer comes to a close I am not ready to say goodbye. I am beginning school plans, but holding on to sweet sunny days.

| So happy together.... |

| Halle's first "dog-friendly" restaurant...we think she liked it! |
 |
| The joy of the find of the "mother-load" |
 |
| We really didn't have to look that hard! |
 |
| Fun at the Lake |
 |
| The best place to swim...EVER! It is a "pool" that is part of the lake, it is wonderful. |
