Sunshine, Slides, and Swimming Pools Summer has officially hit the Adirondacks, it has been HOT! After 3 days of everyone in our household being cranky, we broke down and bought an a/c for our downstairs, and it's been great! We also got a blow-up kiddie pool that Ellie and Tyler (mostly just Ellie at this point) have been enjoying. We've also spent lots of time at the park together and with friends and family too. We will be, Lord willing, celebrating Ellie's 2nd birthday next month! I can't believe my little girl is almost 2 already. My Tyler-man is 6 1/2 months and is such a fun little guy. The Lord has richly blessed us with two wonderful children, although I am reminded often that we live with two little unsaved people...they can certainly act like it! It's just a reminder to pray for them that they will one day come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ! Enjoy the photos and videos! We enjoyed a fun Saturday visit from Ellie and Tyler's Great-grandparents! We had fun showing them around Schroon Lake a little bit and going for a visit to the park. Here's our little smiley-guy with Grammy! 
Ellie with her "cool dude" glasses 
Ellie two obsessions in life (at least in the outdoors) are rocks and dandelions. It takes FOREVER to walk anywhere with her! 
The boys hanging out 
Catch me, Gramma! 
Then, we had Adam's whole staff over for dinner before the end of the spring quarter...we fit 18 people in our house! It was so much fun. It rained, so we had to move the party inside - this is our sun-porch 
Ellie has been introduced to ponytails...finally she is sitting still long enough for me to do it. They are staying in longer and longer too! 
My sweet family...Tyler's like, "Wow, my dad is SO cool" 
Ellie and Tyler's new pool - gotta love those little cheeks! 
On our digital camera, we have a screen that you can pop out and twist around so she loves looking at herself! 
I think this video is funny b/c I tell Ellie, "Say Hi, Ellie" and she very obediently says, "Hi, Ellie!"
This is my new favorite outfit on Tyler...partly because it's got a teddy bear on it but mostly because I just love the boy who is wearing it! 
I thought I'd put this other video on here too, I love hearing little girl giggles!

We have been outside every day except for the rainy ones (which haven't been very many). We've had some fun family days at the SL park too. Ellie loves to swing and slide and say "Weeeeee!" Tyler watches over everyone with his studious observation skills...although he has been known to take a swing ride and a slide or two too! Enjoy the pics.
But, the winter makes the spring and summer that much more appreciated. I do love living here and seeing all the seasons God has made! He is so good to us!
