WE ARE STILL HERE....


This is probably shocking to see a post on our blog since the last one was in... February?! I decided you didn't have time for hundreds of photos, but maybe one or two per month will bring us up to date.

In March, Micah turned three and Ezra

two. They love construction equipment and

digging, so that's what we did!

We let Ezra's hair go for the month.

In April, my grandma went home to be

with her Savior. This picture shows her laughing

with Becky, which she loved to do. I miss her

shoulder-shaking giggles, words of experience,

and faithful prayers.

In June we had a short, but wonderful trip

to Iowa. The boys loved playing with their cousins,

I enjoyed being auntie and having time to talk

with Andy and Jenica (We missed

having Nate come on this trip). I do wish we

didn't have a 9 hour drive between us!

The Madden family vacation near Branson was a huge highlight in July. The boys loved the colored sand boxes at Silver Dollar City (forget the shows, shops and rides). The week was relaxing with shopping, reading, swimming, fishing... The fishermen and woman brought in 75 fish!

Tulsa Zoo visit in August... Mema Madden with her monkeys: Micah, Isaac, Ezra, and Aliyah

Last picture of late: Our neighbor had a family of wild rabbits appear, to the boys' delight. Ezra's bunny was lucky to survive the visit.

It's hard to believe summer is over.... we'll try to post again before Christmas! :)
