A quick recap


Oh my word, where has the time gone??? It has a whole month since my last post, so obviously this whole blog thing needs to be moved up on the priority list.

What has the last month held for the Baxter's? Well...

Truth and Dixon enjoyed a week vacation with Grandma Marji and Grandpa Jerry in Phoenix. The weather was record setting, hitting highs of 118 degrees.






*Adam and Kari spent a week travelingthe east coast, kid free. We spent a few days in Boston, and then took the train south to New York. We met up with some of our dear friends, who now live in Sweden, and toured the city for four days. It was an amazing time.

*We attended the Mooney family reunion (Kari's mom's side), which was two nights of camping at Champoeg State Park. The kids played with their cousins, and we caught up with my 8 aunts and uncles. The last night of camping, there was a big thunder storm, the first that we had ever camped through.

*Truth wrapped up her second round of swimming lessons. She is know floating without a life jacket, and comfortable fully submerged under the water.

*Kari has been interviewing for a documentary about mothering a child with a disability. I am very honored to be apart of something that highlights the positive side of our children.

*We are all getting ready for Sarina and Jason's wedding on July 30th. Truth will be a flower girl, Dixon a "ring master" as Truth calls him, and Kari a bridesmaid. We are very much looking forward to celebrating with them.

This list is basically so I will remember to come back and blog more about each event, but for now, at least it's in writing, so it won't escape my mind completely.
