June

We have had a fun June, and had many activities with our friends from church. Our small group has really started taking off and developing, which is very exciting to see. :)
We went to the Tucker's for a pool party a couple of weeks ago. All was going great until Natalie decided to jump in the pool without my knowing with her front two teeth meeting the side of my head. Oh my. That has been our first major "accident". Fortunately, it did not require a trip to the ER, but we are taking her in today to get it checked out just to make sure. One of her teeth is slightly discolored, but that may be the way it is until her permanent teeth come in. Natalie, Natalie, Natalie...
She has also been testing us hard the past couple of months. Everything is whined, rejected, or defied. We can do nothing right, and she must do everything herself or there is heck to pay.... She has been keeping the time out chair warm. :) Fortunately, the past week, there has been much improvement, and she hasn't been nearly as disagreeable.
A funny thing she has started recently is calling us "Miss Mommy" and "Miss Dad". She calls all her teachers "Ms. Serena, and Ms. Robin, etc", so I guess she figured she'd start paying us the same courtsey. Ha ha! She is a hoot.
She is also currently in a "I don't want to wear anything but dresses" phase. There are very few days that we can get her into a shirt and pair of shorts.
She continues to do well overall, and she is so much fun.
Baby M2 is growing and growing. I can't believe that I'm already almost half way through my pregnancy! Time sure is flying by fast. We will find out if Natalie will have a brother or sister on July 18th, so we are anxiously awaiting that day. That day we also find out if we are going to have a niece or a nephew! Abby, Nick's sister, is also pregnant and due a week after me. There will be two new additions to the Moss family this year. Nana and Pop Pop are beside themselves. :)
Nick is getting ready to head down to the DR again with his HS students for their summer mission trip. They will be gone July 9th - 17th, so be sure to keep them in your prayers. Natalie and I are looking forward to a visit from Nana during this time!
Date night for me and Nick!



She just loves playing with her best friend, Park. He and Natalie were born about 14 hours apart, and have been growing up together ever since. They are fun to watch play together. In these pics, they were enjoying some yogurt, or rather playing with it....


Park's dad is an engineer, and built this fabulous sprinkler contraption for the kids to play in. We hosted a get together at our house last weekend, and the kids had a blast with it.




We hope you are all having a great summer. I can't believe it is already July.

The Lubke Visit

I am way behind here, but am finally starting to feel better, and like a normal human being again.
I May, my mom, dad, and sister came down for a visit. We had a great time just hanging out and spending time together!
Natalie LOVED the beach she ran and played so hard. The only time she took a break was to eat a snack, and then she was back at it!








And here's my sister and I and Natalie with her "Nee Nee". :)
