June 2009

June was a nice month for our family. We were home most of the month, but Darby was working 3 days per week to help Dr. Nichols' office for a while! Meanwhile Bryawna was going to Miss Emma's Daycare (with Campbell & Camryn) having a great time swimming, doing gymnastics, learining music, and rollerskating! Although she had fun, she was exhausted everyday!

The beginning of the month was bittersweet as we said goodbye to our friends Ronny and Raelyna Ford and their baby Mason. Ronnie was a resident with Barnard and he completed his final year. We were invited to the Chief Dinner where we had a chance to catch up with several old friends. Although we had fun and we know they are doing great in the Dallas area... we miss them!

Then there was Father's Day! We had a very relaxing day. We went to church and then went to brunch and then relaxed the rest of the day! Just what Barnard wanted!

The end of June we had a cookout/swim party for our "Life Group" (our couples' bible study from church) and all the kids came too! We had a blast! Bryawna enjoyed running around and swimming with all the kids! Her new purple goggles! AND the ice cream cones for dessert!

The next day we had to go grocery shopping! Woo Hoo! But we had some extra time while our car was getting serviced, so I let Bryawna push her own shopping cart! Talk about cute! Oh my gosh! She looked up at my basket and saw that I had my purse & her backpack (diaper bag) and she politely requested that I put her backpack in her basket (even though it took up the whole cart!), so I did! She was soooo proud! She was a very conscientious shopper too! She said, "Thank you," whenever someone commented on how cute she was, and "excuse me," when she veered into oncoming traffic! She stayed right beside me the whole time! I was amazed, and a bit proud!!!! My little girl is getting so big!!!
