This Summer

I realized this week that August is quickly coming to an end and my favorite time of year is just around the corner!  It's hard to believe how fast the summer has gone already.  It's been a good summer with a couple of family visits and other new things.

In May we headed to North Carolina to see my family and celebrate my Grandma's 96th birthday.  I always like to make it back for her birthday because she's one of my favorites.

My parents visited us back in April and again just this past weekend.  Casey's mom came at the beginning of July, but unfortunately I don't have any pictures from her visit!

Visiting the Slugger Museum in April

This summer I have enjoyed the Big Four Walking Bridge over the Ohio River.  Casey took me for a Saturday morning walk there over to the Indiana side and back.

When my parents visited last weekend, we took them exploring in Indiana and back to the Big Four Bridge at sunset.  We walked over during the sunset, got ice cream, and came back with the bridge lit up.  We had a fun time!

 Somewhere along the way this summer I got a hair cut :) I have wanted to donate my hair for a while and I finally got it long enough to send! I had around 10 inches cut total and 9 inches given to Pantene Beautiful Lengths.

We have still been working hard at our jobs with Casey picking up extra hours while he was out of school this summer.  Casey has now settled back in to his semester of seminars. Please be praying for him as he tries to finish up most of his course work this semester.

We also have big changes on the way in the Croy house--we are having a baby in January!  This summer has been fun watching my belly grow and getting to hear the heartbeat at doctor's appointments.  We find out this week (20 weeks!) whether we are having a boy or a girl!  I have been so fortunate not to have any sickness or problems so far.  Please pray that baby Croy will be healthy and pray for us as well. We are so very excited but also want to soak up this time before baby comes.
