In the last month...

Well, here I am finally sitting down to work on the blog. Let me just share a bit of the last month with you...We have been out of town at least 10 of the 31 days, had multiple visitors here and there, have had mission meetings at least once a week, have visited a few churches for fundraising, have continued to attempt at being active with our church friends, while Ben has continued to put in his many hours at work, and I have been battling fever from mastitis. Whew! Braylon on the other hand is doing fabulous and thinks he is more mature and grown up now that he has conquered the first year of his life. He's the best little guy ever! Here are some pictures of the last month!
