June is for Traveling...



Well, we were home for 2 days and then we took a trip to Louisville so that Michael could go back into the world of Vending- his old boss asked him to come down for a few days to train the new owner of the company--so needless to say we got to see just a few friends in Louisville (we wish we had more time to see all!).  Jeremiah and I got to hang out with some friends and to hang out at the Hampton hotel.  It was like a mini vacation except for the fact that Jeremiah has been waking up a lot with his little cold that he has had for almost 2 weeks- we sure are ready for his little cough to be over. :)  Thanks to Dewane and Lori for putting us up in the Hampton for 2 nights while Michael worked so we could enjoy some rest time as a family!  I always love being back in Louisville!  Apparently the night before we arrived, Louisville was hit with a few tornadoes that damaged part of Churchill Downs and several other places.

More to come in the days ahead on my 2 week trip to PA and to the beach and some of Jeremiah's firsts that he experienced in the last month.  He has had a busy month and we are ready to get back into a normal flow of life- though next week we have VBS in our church each morning and I am helping with the 1st and 2nd grade class. I am excited about this opportunity to serve!

Fun on the Farm

Mark Tedford- a friend from ECC (our church) and friend from Cedarville days invited us last Saturday along with Mark & Meredith Irving (our mentors in college) and their 3 girls and Don & Justine Carlson (our friends from church who are also at Hebrew Union- except almost done- yeah for them!) and their 4 girls went to the farm.  Mark's family owns a beautiful cabin on lots of acres of forest and farm land- Mark keeps their lakes and ponds lake stocked with fish.  I'm sure someday Jeremiah will love to fish like the guys did on Saturday.  It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed sun, paddle boating and fellowship!  It was great to be in the good outdoors- and as my husband always says- Erin always LOVES a good cookout!!!  The rest of the weekend we did another cookout with Michael's parents- which I didn't mind.  And Monday we relaxed and were able to spend time together and go to a few shops.
