Camping at Scofield

We had fun this past weekend camping at Scofield reservoir. I say "camping", but we really stayed in a nice cabin (thanks to Ethan's parents)! I may never be able to camp in a tent again--it was so lovely to sleep in a real bed & have a warm shower! We fished, played in the lake, roasted marshmallows, told ghost stories...and then went inside & relaxed in the recliners! Here are a few photos, courtesy of Gabe (I remembered my camera this time, but forgot to charge the batteries--details!).

Grandma Jolley brought lots of activities for the kids--they enjoyed coloring & painting together.

At long last, an update!!

It's been a crazy summer so far, full of adventures! And, sadly, I've forgotten my camera for most of them :( But we still have a couple items of interest to share...
The first is that we're expecting a baby in February! We're excited welcome child number 4 to our family. The kids are especially thrilled. Since they were all born so close together, none of them can really remember having a new baby before--it will be fun to see their reactions. They are already planning on being a big help once he/she arrives & keep busy thinking up names for Ethan & I to consider :)
This leads me to our second big event: to accomodate our growing family, we've decided to build a new home!! We will hopefully start construction next month & move in around the end of this year or early next. Yea!! Huge thanks go to our families, who are helping in any way they can with this big project. We are grateful beyond words & could not do it without you!!
So that's our big news for the summer! I do have a few pictures of camping, etc. that I'll put up later on.
