Summer

School has been out for almost a month, summer has arrived, and the time is passing way too quickly. I cannot believe we are in the last couple weeks of June already. We have had so much going on these last few weeks, so here is a brief overview of our activities...

We had a new baby join our family. Joshua Charlie Ritz was born on May 15, weighing 9 lb.s 2.7 oz. So exciting!

Janelle suffered with gal bladder issues her entire pregnancy and had to go back into the hospital two weeks after having the baby to have it removed. Poor thing. They came here soon after, so she could recover and have help taking care of sweet baby Joshua.

We loved every minute of it!!

In fact, we just couldn't get enough. We argued over time with the baby, and fought over who would hold him next. There is just nothing greater than a newborn baby in your midst.

Once everyone was feeling better, we ventured out for some water activities.

Baby slept through most of it.

We enjoyed an afternoon at Menchies - yum!

A couple days were spent at the lake.

And again, baby slept through most of it(so sweet!).

There were several games of basketball played.

In the middle of all of our fun activities, our sewer line needed pumped. It was a stinky mess. Good thing we called them when we did, because another 6 months and it would have been a whole lot more stinky, costly, and messy.

I took lots and lots of pictures

Way more than I thought I did.

We relaxed, snuggled, shopped, and enjoyed every single minute we had together!

We are now counting down until our beach trip in July!

I LOVE SUMMER!!
