June 2009
What an amazing month! I'm cheating a bit because I'm actually starting from Memorial Day weekend but it felt like June then so here we go...
We had our first zoo trip that weekend, Malachi was a little young to recognize any of the animals but he knew the elephants from a video he has and loved them. We had a picnic together and really enjoyed ourselves.
The last week of May I had my surgery. Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. It went well and I have healed quickly. It wasn't as successful as we had hoped it would be but we are at peace knowing that the Lord has our situation in his hands and if it is his will for us to have another baby we will.
My mom's birthday was the second weekend of June and we enjoyed spending time with them at their house. Matt has mastered the art of the bbq now and has earned quite a reputation for himself :) His chicken and homemade blue cheese is highly requested at family functions now! Malachi was also dedicated that same weekend at our church, we felt blessed to have so many praying for him. We are very thankful for our church family.
Matt celebrated his first Father's Day. We spent Saturday with my dad in Independence picking cherries and enjoying the sun. Matt and Uncle John played corn throw and we got a good laugh at Matt's "tossing technique"...he almost had him! Sunday morning Malachi and I made "daddy" breakfast and we relaxed together before going to the Dawson's and then to the Coker's for dinner. It was a busy weekend but a good first Father's Day. We decided that next year we're going to escape and go to the beach, see you all there!
This last weekend we spent in Bend with Uncle Greg & Aunt Kate. They have a new condo in SW Bend right on the river that is absolutely beautiful. We were able to kayak together while Malachi napped with Aunt Kate and the weather was perfect. We bbq'd (Matt's chicken of course) and watched James Bond (my first!) in their theater room. It was the most relaxed we've been since last year. So relaxed we're going back in two weeks!
Malachi is in such a fun stage right now. He is saying "da da" and "dog". He can wave bye-bye and recognizes 20 words from his "baby can read" program. He is such a fast crawler I can hardly keep up with him and his balance is improving. I wouldn't be surprised if the next time I update this he's walking!
We hope this finds you all well and enjoying your summer. We have another busy month in July so I'll have lots to catch you all up on then.
We love you!
