This poor, poor blog has really been neglected lately. It's just something about the month of June. I've fallen behind on everything I've wanted/needed to do. So, since my last blog post:

- Accalia has turned 10. I now have a child in the double digits!!!
- We had a fun family camp out, and it didn't rain the entire time.
- Our garden, despite desperately needing to be weeded, is growing radishes, carrots, broccoli, watermelon, pumpkins, tomatoes and peppers. The rabbits aren't nearly as bad as they have been in past years.
- There's been plenty of water play in the backyard but not nearly enough trips to the beach or pool. I think Ella tries to alleviate my guilt by referring to the pool in the backyard as "the beach."
- The kids are having fun with their dance studio and library classes. After the 4th of July, swimming lessons start up for Accalia and Cole.
- Tylan has climbed a flight of stairs. Her goal in life is now to try to pull herself up and stand by whatever she's able to reach.
- Our 16-year-old niece and 13-year-old nephew stayed with us for a few days while they attended a sports camp in Yankton.

There's probably more to report, but I hear Ella waking up and need to go!
