Month of Family

We knew heading into June it would a month filled with family--my sister's wedding, my cousin's wedding reception, a visit from my other sister and her family...we did not know that it would also include two funerals. Andy's paternal grandparents--Roy and Pearl--both died this month. We will be heading up north to attend Pearl's funeral this weekend; Roy's funeral was a week ago. So June has been an odd mix of joy and sorrow, and discernment--Andy also had two job interviews this month. We have many many photos from the past weeks that at some point I hope to share here.

For now, I've heard that Grandpa Steve has been missing his grandson mightily, so it seems like some light-hearted Simon cuteness might be a good place to start, until the craziness dies down and we have time to sort through our many wedding photos.

First Puddle:

Simon's first puddle exploration--at the Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison (later I'll have to post some of our other videos, of Simon & Izzy following each other through the puddles!)

thanks for the awesome raincoat and boots, Grandma!

Simon has enjoyed our new wading pool on a couple of recent 90-degree days
