Baby Walter was baptized this week while we were vacationing at Kanuga in the mountains of NC. It is a beautiful place and it was very special to spend it with family. We had a great time and it feels so good to go back every year.
Below is a photo of Salena with baby Walter in the Chrisening gown she made herself. It was so beautiful, hopefully I can take a picture of the gown to post here so you can see the details. 
She loves to play the piano!

She's really growing up...and she loved pushing Deepaw into the lake...over and over again. thanks Deepaw!
We got to take the kids to visit some of our very most favorite friends in the world, the Worley's. We miss them so much, but see them every summer. Izzy loved seeing all the horses, donkeys and cows. It is so beautiful there.
The kids have been going swimming at our YMCA pool a lot this summer and loving it! Izzy is getting so brave, she goes down the slide by herself and loves to jump in. She has no fear of the water, but we're teaching her how to climb out of the pool by herself to keep her safe. I think she'll be swimming unassisted in no time. She has a great doggie paddle!
