Painting…again
While Jake was on the road, I decided to repaint the basement bedroom (that I have also wanted to repaint for years!) Finally made it a priority this weekend. I also had a helper 😊
Before and after:

Moving to FL
Our good friends are headed back to FL. We are going to miss them so much!
Jake is helping them drive down and will fly back on Sunday.
Nissedalen fun 2021 – 3
Family time with cousins at the lake. The kids always have a great time together! Shecklet #2 also brought his friend for the day – tubing was a highlight as usual.
More summer swimming
We are so thankful for our friends who have invited us (numerous times) to swim with them!
4th of July 2021 💥
Celebrated the birth of the U.S.A. today with friends, swimming, and sparklers. It was too windy to do much more than that. 🎆
Basement painting marathon
I have wanted to repaint the basement bathroom for years. I finally picked a paint color, started the project AND finished it!
Before and after:
The basement walls also needed a fresh coat of paint. I patched holes (a long time ago 😳) and never went back to repaint. I am embarrassed to even say how long my walls have looked polka dotted. But no more! The room feels amazing now!

After:
The paint color looks different due to the way the light hits the walls, but it is the same color throughout.
Spectacles for Shecklet #3
Reading glasses for Shecklet #3 to ease the strain on her eyes. She has been reading a ton this summer and getting headaches. We hope that her new glasses will help eliminate them.
Making muffins
My kitchen helper (Shecklet #4) is busy today making muffins to share with her siblings.
40 years – COSP
Our church celebrated its 40th anniversary this summer, culminating in a parish picnic. I helped at the outdoor photo booth. These lovey ladies came by for a few pics.
