Phew, I'm running behind on my blogging. Aren't summers always crazy busy? May was a wonderful month. Avery turned 5(!!), finished up 4k, and had her dance recital. Baby Sawyer was baptized in the church in a beautiful ceremony. We had a great time with our friends and neighbors at the annual Concert at the Park. Oh, and had family pool fun on Memorial Day. The kids have started their summer camps and are having a great summer so far. Here's to more summer fun!

Sweet Campbell and Salem
