GodStrong t-shirts

I wanted to let everyone know about some t-shirts that are on sale right now to help out a family in need.  Jon Strebe is the husband of one of my high school basketball coaches.  He has 3 kids who are very close in age with my kids (his younger two are twins that are a month older than Levi).  Jon has testicular cancer and is getting ready to move from their home in Hilton Head to Indianapolis for a few months for some high dose chemotherapy.  His family will be going with him for this treatment.  Throughout this cancer process, Jon and his wife, Donna, have kept a blog to keep people informed as to what is going on and they have continuously said they are "GodStrong."  Their friends recently made GodStrong t-shirts in honor of Jon that are being sold to be a witnessing tool as well as to help the Strebe family financially.  These t-shirts will only be sold for the next 2 weeks.  You can read Jon's story on their blog here: http://strebefamily.blogspot.com/ and can order a t-shirt here: https://www.bonfirefunds.com/jon-and-donna-strebe

I just wanted to spread the word so the Strebe's can get as much help and prayers as possible!

Thanks!

July Highlights

 I know I start every post like this, but I am so behind on the blog!  So, here are our highlights from the month of July-I've got to hurry up and do August before it's over as well!  Time keeps on flying by for us!

Our cows are growing up!
 We went to see "The Lorax" at a theater with friends.  Funny side note: both kids struggled to keep their seat from folding as they sat in it
 We've been to the playground lots of times!
 Always fun!
 Went to the annual Angove family reunion-this was all the kids going on a nature hike
 Levi, his cousin Julianne, and 2nd cousin (I think) Ronan
 Putt-putt!
 A friend from church had a baby, which we got to go meet!
 Snead beach vacation-all the girl cousins (except Ella) with Nana (Olivia, Vera, Addie, Eden)
 Addie and Olivia in their matching bathing suits
 Pool time!
 Wild man Levi jumping in the pool!  He got brave enough to try swimming without his floaties...and did great!

 Our sweet kiddos

Last, but not least, we found out we are having a girl!  We are so excited!
