So, June was a busy month for us, but it was busy with seeing people we love! We were able to travel down to Franklin, TN, again to see Dan and Julie one more time before they head out of the country this month. Elliana is definitely more mobile than she was a year ago, and she was just getting over a urinary tract infection (her first, and hopefully her last). So, she was a little disheveled by the trip. We had fun lounging in the pool, eating great food and drinking coffee, catching up and engaging in good conversations, and window-shopping in downtown Franklin. We found out that they'll actually be back in the States next summer, so maybe we'll get to see them sooner than we thought.At the end of June, my mom was able to come up for a whole week! Our days were filled with our church picnic, traveling to see my brother (who had never met Elliana), playing at the little water park, hanging out at home, checking out Second Street Market (made up of a variety of vendors selling stuff like bulk dry goods, locally raised beef/chicken/produce, homemade breads, and food you can buy there to eat), and enjoying King's Island while Mom got Elliana all to herself! We were sad to see her leave, and she was sad to have to travel too many miles away from her granddaughter!

We were able to take advantage of Max's military career...he got in free, and I got a discount!
