July is already gone!

This summer has been fun and eventful. In June, I sprained my foot rather badly. It's doing well now, though. In early July we went to visit Darin's 96 year old grandfather. He is amazing. He lives with a son, but is still able to be home alone all day. We enjoyed 4th of July fireworks with my best friend's family. My sister and nephew came for a few days before we headed off to Ohio to see Darin's family.

While we were there we went to a water park. It stormed most of the day so we got rainchecks to go back the next day. We went to Ikea to purchase Hannah some new furniture for her bedroom makeover she is planning. That afternoon, we went back to the water park. As we were entering the park a lady's baby stroller got away from her down a steep hill. Darin took off after the stroller and fell, breaking his arm. The stroller was stopped by a pole, and the baby was fine. He was banged up pretty badly, but he broke a bone that is the best bone to break--no cast!

We spend the rest of July relaxing, seeing the doctor, enjoying tomatoes from our garden, and getting ready for the start of our school year. Speaking of tomatoes, I made spaghetti sauce completely from scratch with our abundance of tomatoes. It was YUMMY!

Darin has a new principal who is seeming to be good for the school. Time will tell! Summers are short here following Darin's school schedule, but we like all the time off during the year, too.
