We have not fallen off the face of the earth

I have not blogged now for a very long time. But we have not fallen off the face of the earth. April and May I have no excuse for, but since then I must say that having warm weather changes everything in Minot. We become very busy. Grandma and Grandpa (bless their souls!) just left this morning . They were here visiting and helping tremendously with the many projects we need to get done this short summer! They are amazing and we loved having them here!!!! Since I last wrote Grace turned 1, Abel turned 6 and we have been siding, tearing out doors and windows, tearing out decks, gardening, playing t-ball, visiting farms for fresh milk, and enjoying time outside. I will include a few pictures of such things and will try to do better at updating this in the future! Grace's 1st birthday
