A blurr of events (with new house pictures)

June has brought us lots of change
First a new home on the range
Our marriage years now equal seven
It's been a blast, a bit of heaven

With less boxes stacked from floor to ceiling
We're slowly getting the settled feeling
Sweet Becca turned a big girl TWO
We love her precious attitude

Ron begins his summer teaching
My degree is somewhat in the reaching
Maybe we can stop to breathe
And have ourselves a cup of tea (lemonade really)



Shots of our ranch house





Family room



Our steep driveway-the boys would go down on their bikes the whole way if I let them, but it gives me a heart attack to see them whiz by as their bikes shake



This is what we wake up to every morning...many Georgian backyards look like this


We couldn't have sent in our order for a cuter little birthday girl


Becca wanted popsicles instead of cake...I didn't argue with that

Your house is beautiful! Love the red doors, hardwood floors and lovely pots as evidence of your yard chores. Becca is darling.

Can't wait to spend lots of time with all of you soon.

Wow, we love your house! I would do anything to live in a forest-like area. I'm very jealous. I get scared of kids riding their bikes fast and I can only imagine what it must be like when they are your own. At least you don't have to worry about plowing the snow off of it!

It is so great. We are very thrilled for all of you. Can't wait to see it in person.
Mostly we want to spend some time with your darling children in their home. Hope we can visit soon.

Happy Birthday to Rebecca! She is beautiful!! Love, love, love your pretty home! And your yard is fantastic! I LOL'd at the part about the shake bikes whizzing by. Can't wait to visit you! LOVE!

LOVE LOVE LOVE your house and yard!!!! Oh my goodness, I can't even tell you how much I would love a yard like that for Brooklyn to out and run in... sigh..... I need a yard desperately. Sweet little Becca is 2 already... that means Brooklyn's is coming up and I'm not ready to have a 2 year old, it goes by way to fast!

Yeah! Looks like a wonderful house, beautiful yard, fun playset! Perfect. You've come a long way from your tiny rented house in Coralville. Your kids are getting so big! Isn't life so, so fun? Keep plugging away on that degree of yours!

I love your house! I so wish we could have found a Ranch House out here but they are few and far between in PA! Glad the move is over and now all the fun decorating and unpacking can begin.
