Ushering in July

Wow. June is at its end and finally finally we are ushering in July. Life has been a little bit of a whirlwind here at the Mansell home. We are finally getting settled from having Mom, Nathan, Maddie, Lawson, and myself out for the week of camp and having VBS at church, and having the splendid visit with our good friends the Bloemsma's. The end of June signifies to us the end of rushing around- which is a welcomed sight. Of course- we could never be completely "done" so Dentist appointments and such have invaded our planned quiet month of July. But all is still at rest and good.
A few things that are top news here at home are:
  1. Nathan leaves Thursday for South Africa!! Let the rushed packing begin!
  2. A few thrift store furniture purchases are slowly turning our house into a home (at last :) )
  3. The grand beginning of schooling began today- and did it ever start with a bang! Good work mom! Many props to ya!
Running the race along with you- the Mansell family sends their (ALL THEIR) cheerful greetings!
