What we did in June

Hollie's friend Kristin with husband Jeremiah and kids Gavin and Elia moved back to Ohio from Kansas. After they moved in, Byron had his first experience babysitting all by himself. Elia slept the whole time, so all he had to do was play Wii with Gavin. Byron totally forgot about the laundry because the Wii was so fun.

Hollie attended her friend Anne's baby shower. They don't want to know if it's a boy or a girl (they call it baby burrito), all the baby stuff has a frog theme. Hollie can't wait to have another baby to spoil, hopefully it's a little girl.

Weddings- Our friends Paige and Eric got married. Hollie was a Bridesmaid. They had a fun outdoor reception with great food and lots of music.






Hollie's sister Kristina also got married at the end of the month. Hollie was the Matron of Honor and Byron was the Best Man. She married Henry, a guy she met in Honduras. He has a son, Little Henry, who is six years old and full of energy. This is a picture of Hollie with Henrito at ChuckECheese.

We've tried to learn a little Spanish and Henry and Henrito are still learning English. They make a great addition to our family.

Kristina and Henry got married in a court back in February to get the paperwork moving. They had a wedding and reception in Honduras for Henry's family and friends in April. And so the wedding and reception here in Ohio in June was their third.

When they came up to Ohio before the wedding and stayed at our apartment for a couple days we went fishing. Byron had only been fishing one other time in his life, but he got the hang of casting out the line and relaxing in the breeze with the new fishing pole Hollie bought him. Henry caught a small fish that he wanted to cook for dinner, but we had to explain that our lake has a catch and release policy.

The month of June was so crazy busy, but all-in-all, we had a blast with family and friends. Celebrating these big moments in each other's lives bring us all closer. We are so grateful for all the people in our lives!
