It's 2 in the morning and I can't sleep... so bear with me on this post....

May, June and half of July have come and gone so fast it seems I hardly saw them, and yet so much was packed into them it seems like half a year.

We started off May with a trip to Wisconsin for Doug's sister's wedding. Congratulations to Aaron and Joyce Stewert!

The day after the wedding we were able to spend some time with my side of the family. First time I had gotten to see any of my siblings or my parents in over a year. It was wonderful to connect with all of them again even though the time was short. 

In June Doug and I went back to KY to spend a weekend with our church family there. Monday morning after a lovely visit Doug headed back to PA to get back to work. The kids and I stayed in KY at a friends house. Wednesday my friend and my Mother-in-law gave me a ride to the Gallilean Home in Liberty KY where I met up with a friend who was to give me a ride to Wisconsin. Thursday morning we hit the road. Praise be to God we all survived, but I don't really EVER want to ride for 17 hours in the car again... especially not with a 3 year old and a 16 month old :-D 

You may be wondering why the kid and I were headed for wisconsin again so soon after the wedding. Well, here it is! 

Each summer my friend Angie Conjurske hosts a beautiful camp called "Camp of Hope" for girls 12 and up. It's a free camp, a fun camp, a heart searching camp and an amazing camp! It's not actually "camp" at all as we get to stay in a wonderful place that used to be a spa. Very comfortable beds and hot showers ;-) Anyway... since she started the camp 4 years ago I've volunteered there. I didn't make it last year and didn't expect to go this year either. Well one evening my husband and I were talking and he told me "I think you should take the kids and go to camp this year" so it was settled! I was going! 

My "job" at camp is to make all the girls play ridiculous games and have lots of fun. Fill up the free time and keep people out of trouble. But we had tons of of serious time as well. I can't even tell you how much I enjoyed the fellowship. So many godly young women in one place and such wonderful times of prayer. Anyhow here is a couple pictures. The first is a group pic of everyone at camp. The second is a picture of the staff. 

After two and a half weeks without our dear Daddy and Hubby he finally joined us in Wisconsin! We were so happy to see him! That was the longest that the children or I have been away from him. 

On July 4th we had another wedding to attend. Doug's childhood best friend, Bobby Kulp was getting married! 

Congrats Robert and Sarah! 

July 5th we got on the road and headed back to PA. This time we drove through the night so the babies would sleep. They were so tired from all the traveling and visiting we did that they slept 14 hours straite in the car! 

Poor Doug was so sick when he got to Wisconsin that he was taking Tylenol to make it through the wedding ceremony (he was a groomsman.) Still sick as a dog when we traveled home. After we arrived home he lay on the couch for a whole week before he finally got back to work yesterday. 

We are Praising God that he is finally back on his feet. 

What about Brazil? Still waiting. Still praying for God to provide and still hoping to go this year. 

Goodnight (morning) you all ;-)
