June

We went to Rock Glen campground for an afternoon where a number of friends from church were staying for the week.  Aaron was pretty excited to find a turtle by the pond there

Feed me!  This poor bird and his mamma had their nest in the apple tree where our boys have a tree fort... they got peeked in on a bit more than they were comfortable with

Peonies in bloom - there are five or six different varieties here

We always get a chuckle when the chickies go to bed.  There is a perching branch on the inside just in front of the window, and all 14 chickens like to squish together on that branch.  Now (2 months later) they are even more squished in there, and one or two of them have to sleep on the other branch inside

Stephen turned 2!  Happy birthday, buddy!  We celebrated his birthday with a pancake breakfast

We opened presents with him and he was quite enamoured with his new sunglasses

He gets absorbed into the world of trucks and tractors, and is excited by anything with "wheels".  It's been fun listening to his speech develop.  It seems like every day brings a new word!
