Busy July

We have had a very busy July. When Lena was blessed on the 4th my parents were at Island Park, so we got to spend some time with the Moores. Gary came that weekend and we were able to take him to Yellowstone and he could spend some quality time with Michelle, who learned quickly how to say his name. I took Lena to meet my Grandma and Grandpa Moore in Utah. Then we trecked the long journey to Washington where Michelle loved every moment and Lena got to meet her Great Grandma Reese, her Grandma Jackson, her Grandpa Jackson and her Great Uncle Gary. The girls traveled well, considering it was a 12 hour drive each way, and Jim and I enjoyed being back home in Washington, if even for a very short time. Following are some cherished pictures from the month's escapades, in no particular order (organizing them takes too long!)
