The End of June

Hi all.

I have been soo busy lately with work-it's orientation time for the freshman and this week the secretary is out so I am enjoying taking her role for the week :) Also, my laptop charger broke, so I had to wait for the new one to come in the mail. I also finished up my summer course and did very well-Praise God! (I thought I would fail, when I first started that class). God is good. 

Along with finishing my class, and working, I've had a bit of family fun.

 This man Mark, celebrated his 15th birthday on the 26th. His party was the 27th-the evening of my last  day of summer class so I missed it, nonetheless I did my part with cooking. 

My little cousin and I during my cousin's birthday party, which we hosted at our house because we have the pool.

The pool. This is what draws so many to our house in the summer. We always have people over, but the summer especially. These past few weeks, 2 or 3 or 4 families (my cousins) come over everyday. 

We also now have chickens. I'm not a fan, but the kids are and my mom really likes them. My dad and brothers built this little home for them. Leah and Andrew love giving the chickens grass.

Leah has about 6 bathing suits and changes them up every day, a few times a day. She looks so cute in them! She is also such a little climber. We have a sitting swing on our deck and she loves to act like a little monkey on it and has no fear. She has been saying such funny things but if I don't write them down right away I forget. Oh but with the pool, she always says "Andrew is a big boy. He won't drown, but I am little. I can drown so you have to watch me." We watch all of them no matter what! Also, if someone takes her "life jacket" or circle blow up thing, she screams even if she isn't using it. I keep telling her that she needs to share! Then again, when my little cousin Len came over she did offer it to her herself so she isn't always selfish. 

Blessings,

Lesya
