Happy June
“The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him.” – Proverbs 20:7
our very own Dad – we thank God for you!
we had a wonderful lunch together, topped off with an apple pie made by Jennifer and Jaimee
look at all those apples!
We made a “healthy” pie shell, but here is the recipe for the filling (we added fresh lemon zest to the recipe)
a new travel cup 
How blessed are the children
Who in their fathers see
The tender Father-love of God,
And find their way to Thee -Johnson
On Saturday, we were blessed to have the help of a friend as we began the process of laying down floors. After living on concrete for nearly 14 years, this is a very exciting event in our home!

We are grateful for God’s provision and are loving these two rooms!

Did you all lay the floor yourselves? Esther and I layed the flooring in our new house ( the bathrooms)
Lovely BTW!

That pie looks absolutely picture-perfect! Mail me a piece? Again, very inspiring. And the floors look great! How exciting – but maybe a little hard to see that familiar concrete go?
Wish I was seeing you today (the 26th)!
With love, Cailan
