Catching up in July

We have had some really fun times in July, the kids got to go camping with both Grandparents on different wkends!  Kooper caught this catfish while camping with Gr. & Gr. Conway. 
Kamryn got to play with her cousin Addy and these WORMS!  Yuck, she is crazy.  This girl loves bugs and picking them up and studying them...I asked her if she was going to be a bug doctor someday and she said - yes - ewwww!  She had so much fun and is really starting to grow up and act differently, (which is a blessing for us).  She is strong willed :)
This is a pic with all the Ebel cousins from camping with Gr. & Gr. Ebel, and aunts and uncles.  The campground was in Sioux Falls and is Yogi Bear Campgrounds.  The kids loved it!
We had a little photo shoot at Grandma's with the girls in matching dresses...will post more of that another time...Keely was being a stinker...but Mom still managed to get some cute shots.  Keely is showing some attitude lately too...she's just about 17 mths...and has been hitting and biting...and don't you dare think you will get close to her mom.  I haven't gotten to hold Koop or Kam for the past mth. because Keely sees them coming and dives for my lap!  Most the time tho, she is so much fun!
 The thumbs up is because as of July 19th, Korey and I have been married 8 years (and together for 16).   I am a very blessed person to have such a great husband!  Hoping for many more years of love, happiness, and chaos! 
Other things goin' on...I had my 15 year reunion, which was a lot of fun with some great friends and classmates! 
**We are finished with our homestudy adoption stuff and basically waiting for it to be approved to move onto the next step of sending our application into the country we choose.  We love Africa, but the only worrisome thing is the adoption times in Ethiopia are being extended.  It is for good reason as far as being even more thorough with the process, but just means the adoption would take longer.  Will keep ya all posted when we make some decisions soon!

**Another note, please keep my cousin Kayla and her family in your prayers, as she is healing from fighting cancer, but is now dealing with complications related to scar tissue and infection.  She is 16 years old and AMAZING.  Her family has faith beyond words! 

LOVE - Jonna
