June Happenings

I think Abram and Nolan slept outside in their hammocks every night in June.  Abram loved that this kitten would hop in and sleep with him every night:

I took Ruth to my parent's at the end of June because my niece, Gracie was getting married and the temples suddenly opened up so she wanted me to come.  It was a relaxing, fun week for all of us.  

This was one morning when Ruth and I did yoga in the backyard and Anni joined us:

Abram had a soccer camp with his friends l-r: Brennan, Simon, Bodee, Cannon and Connor:

Finn Anderson was born!:
