mini golf again
We have a mini golf course across the street and down the road a little ways. Every time we drive by Garrison asks if we can stop and play. On Saturday it was nice enough and we didn't have anything planned so we ventured out and had a great time. Afterwards we headed to DQ for some supper and ice cream.

New family members
Over the July 4th weekend Thomas was asked to preach for a friend so he could have a week off and it left us with a great opportunity to meet our newest family members. Before we headed to Mankato we took a little detour to the cities to meet Keith and Maggie.
On Friday, June 24 Thomas' brother, James, and his wife, Shana, had their first baby. Mr. Keith Aaron Bush entered the world at 11:59 pm. He weighed 8 lbs. 10 oz and that was arriving three weeks early!
The following Friday, July 1st, my brother, Tom and his wife, Dawn, had their second baby. Ms. Maggie Rose Williams entered the world at 7:25 am. She weighed 7 lbs. We were able to visit Maggie the night she was born and I didn't want to put her down.
Welcome to our family Keith and Maggie!

what we've been up to
Wow! I can't believe that June is almost gone and we've yet to experience any summer-like weather up here in our neck of the woods. It's actually getting quite ridiculous. We still have our heat on because our house is usually sitting at about 60 degrees. I'm really close to packing my bags and heading south.
We did, however, get to enjoy some nice weather when we headed to the cities the beginning of this month to visit with Thomas' parents who flew in from California. We had about 5 days of beautiful weather, fun times with family, pool time, thrift store shopping, birthday/graduation parties, baby showers, soccer games, going out to eat and even visiting with my dad, brother, sister-in-law and niece. It was really hard leaving everyone this time around. It's so nice to see family and especially nice for Garrison and Josiah to be able to play with all their cousins.
This month has also brought some change to the Bush household. After much prayer and tears I've decided that I will no longer be doing daycare for the three children I currently have. I tossed and turned over this decision for a long time. Thomas and I spent much time talking, prayer, trying to find other ways to continue (maybe cutting down to only three days a week), but in the end needed to be completely done. It was so hard telling the parents, but I feel so much better for making the decision. As soon as I was able to find the courage to do it it felt like this enormous weight was lifted. I know that God was calling me away from this and I finally had to stop fighting and just let faith take over. I will be done the end of July.
Garrison and Josiah are continuing to crack us up with how stinking cute and wonderful they are. (I know I'm their mom. I can pour it on heavy.) Garrison talks a lot now and comes up with the funniest things. He's also busting at the seams to go the "movie feater" and watch Cars 2. He likes to tell everyone he sees that "Cars 2 is coming out soon and I'm going to the 'movie feater' and am going to get popcorn." We have our count down going. Only a few more days!
Josiah is becoming a little boy and is not so much our baby anymore. (tear) He's such a cuddle bug who loves to gives hugs and kisses. He's also trying to talk a lot more. Which is so cute and he loves to do everything Garrison is doing. I wish I could video tape their entire lives so I could always remember exactly what they did, how their little voices sounded and I could capture every single funny thing that goes on among these walls.
