The Armstrongs: Summertime

Here's what we've been up to in fast forward mode!

:: Last minute tag a long trip to St. Augustine with Nonie and Dagan. Cousin fun.
:: Vacation Bible School at Dawson for Kai
:: Trip to the Armstrong "camp" to play in the woods. Four wheelers, guns, playing in the creek. Good times.
:: Feeding local "World Changers" crew
:: Penelope still smaller than the doctor would like. Adding formula to see if it helps with weight gain.
:: Kai had a movie night at church and we joined some friends for a dinner out

:: Fourth of July at the Cook's with sparklers!
:: Michael and I began counting calories and training for a 5K in September
:: Penelope STILL not growing enough to please her doctor. Begin strict regimen of formula, reducing solids to try to get her to catch up some.
:: Small group cookout. What beautiful weather we've had this summer!
:: Began working in the nursery every Sunday again and going to the night service at church
:: Car breaks down on the way to church on the side of Hwy 280
:: Michael ramps up home bakery business (Rock Star Bakery on FB) and decides to pursue culinary school

:: Penelope sick again but gaining weight!

We have been much busier than I expected or even realized. I love being able to be home with our kids. And I'm excited for this new chapter with Kai starting school in just a couple of weeks and Penelope turning one and starting to walk! Pictures, yes? End of May thru July comin at ya!
