Summer is in full-swing and we are finding the little things to enjoy each day. Since the marathon, we have had a couple trips to South Bend and a lot of time in our home. Aunt Eden made a trip from Washington, DC to visit. We also were lucky enough to meet-up with Uncle Fred and Uncle Stuart! Each day is simple in terms of plans, with only a thing or two that truly needs to be accomplished, and the rest is to do as we please. It is a sweet time that I know will not last for much longer, and I am trying to recognize the time I have with my family. Here are some pictures from our last few weeks:
