The first summer in two years

The previous two summers were distracted by cancer and the treatment that went along.  We had to nearly always say "no" to the adventures brought by warm air. We worked hard to catch up and finish our school year last spring in anticipation of a summer of yeses.  Here are a few glimpses of our first summer in two years.

The summer days have wound down and we are once again busy with school.  We are thankful for a cancer free summer without the "no's" it's treatment brings.
