Summer Days...

Well, as we finally accept that summer is over and that fall is here, we were thinking what a fun packed summer we had and wanted to share some of the highlights.

Kit and I both turned 29. We are officially in our 30th year of life and we are excited about what is ahead.
Those were a lot of candles...

We celebrated Kit's birthday in Chicago, while at a conference, at a Cubs and White Socks game at Wrigley Field, 9 rows up from home plate. It was one of the most memorable moments...

(Ok, I am totally squinting, but it was a combination that the sun was so bright and that we were so excited to be there...)

Our little brother Ethan graduated from high school. It was really special to see him turn the tassel. Getting to see Andrew graduate, then Ryan, and now Ethan, it was really special to be together.

We received the referral for Ruby on July 1st. Gina happened to be in Redlands the day that it came and was with the Rosies when they first saw her little face. We all cried...

VBS was taken to the neighborhoods this year and it was such a blessing to be part of it.

We had a family vacation with Gina's family at the beach in Oxnard. It was a great week being together.


We then had a "family" vacation with our close friends from college up at Shaver Lake. Such fun memories were made.

Then we did a backpacking trip with Kit's parents. It was a very special time to be together. Rutherford Lake is Kit's all time favorite backpacking spot and so it was fun to go and see a place that he loves so much. Seeing how much Kit loves being outside and backpacking and camping is a really special thing to see. I just love that man!



And finally...
we found out that we are pregnant!

So what would be our biggest highlight of the summer?
I bet you can guess...
Baby Rae is due between April 8-11, 2010
So in case we forget to say it because we're distracted or sleep deprived...
Happy Easter!
