Summer Fun

Summer is here and with the warmer weather comes ... swimming! We took Zane swimming for the first time last week. He was a little apprehensive at first, but then seemed to get into it. The second day he fussed a little at first because the water was colder. However, I think that it won't be too long before we have quite a little water baby. He also enjoyed playing in the pool with his friend Caleb.




Summertime is also a great time for taking walks. Apparently, this walk was a little long for Zane. He crashed about halfway home. Doesn't he look so precious?




As many of you know, Mike was able take a trip to South Asia. We have a few pictures of that trip, but the camera battery died fairly quickly. We will be getting a CD with all the pictures that were taken. Hopefully Mike will be in some of those. We will post more of those as we get them. The trip was very nice. Mike said they were able to lay some good ground work for future work. Unfortunately, he did not have as much opportunity to share with people as he would have liked to. As you can tell, the place was beautiful! Mike said he was more relaxed while he was there than he has been in almost a year. The last picture is of a cultural drum ceremony that they American visitors were honored with. I am sure Mike will type an update email with more details. But for now, you can enjoy some pics from the trip.






This past Sunday we had a baby dedication at church. Here is a pic from that. We were nervous that Zane would get in front of the church and fuss. He was tired and it was his lunch time. But no doing! Zane was great. As if we had anything to worry about!



We are beginning to want to be mobile. Zane has no interest in trying to crawl. He never has liked being on his tummy. However, he LOVES to take our hands and walk all around the place. He wears us out! He likes chasing Bear, our dog. It makes it even more fun because Bear wanders away from Zane as he is coming, so Zane just keeps walking around and around following him. I guess we are getting our exercise this way!
