Summer Lovin

 

Summer is in full swing at the Rothwell house.  Full swinging baseball bats that is.  Dayne finished his first season of baseball  and just got voted onto the All Star 11 year old team to play in tournaments all July. Diego and Yerly are full swing in tball.  Diego is an “Ole Pro” this year and helping his sister get familiar with the game of ball

this summer!

 

The Rothwell taxi cab is racking up the miles. Diego and Yerly took a week long soccer clinic, a week long vacation bible school, tball and swim lessons…while dayne and ella are busy at 2 different basketball camps and tennis lessons everyday.  We found a way to condense 5 trips in 4 hours to the high school down to 2.

Olivia is busy at Hollister at Tanger mall. Gretta helps Ella with a babysitting job once a week.  Ella’s highlight of the summer is BRACES…woo hoo… hardly. And in our free time…there is lots of playing in our newly painted pool!!!

We started out summer with our annual camping trip to the 400 trail in Wilton!

I am trying my hand at a mini-job this summer.  Jude and I head into the Swim Reedsburg office a couple of mornings a week and I have been teaching swim lessons one afternoon for a couple of hours.  It’s alot of fun, but not sure if this is my season to be working away from home…even if just for a few hours.  Home is such a busy place and in need of a full time manager…now I see why I haven’t worked all these years.

JudeBug is scooting around. He says mama(came first :) ) and papa.  He shakes his head no.

Diego and Yerly are in full english mode.  Yerly speaks with absolutely perfect grammar with an extensive vocabulary.  Her first favorite word was “repulsive!” They are in for a treat this summer with the spanish summer school which is spoken in 90% spanish for 3 weeks.

We continue to be amazed at God’s provision for our family through our new house and new family members.  Our God is an awesome God!
