beautiful and sunny!

 everyone played outside today!  even all of daisy's babies.

 popsicles with cousins and neighbors

 let the picnics on the porch begin!

buzzin' Henry's head.  I have a super funny video... the buzzer must have been tickling him.  He was giggling.  So cute.  He ended up passing the time by dipping his lolipop in a cup of water for his entire hair cut.

 our lil guy's ready for the summer!

and a few pix from the Maple Fest at camp last weekend..

i went back to the doc today. 

i am hoping and praying that my insurance would approve some work on my veins in my legs.

i have been denied. alot.  but the doc is working with me and we are giving it one last go.

please pray for a miracle.  my veins are horrible. achy. painful and i can't stand or sit for long period of times.  i am also getting sores on my leg as a result of the skin breaking down.  ugh.

 and lastly- some BUOY (youth group) excitement for our first worship service and buoy in our new building!  ah YEAH!  and thank you Jesus.
