busy bees

Well, once again I am apologizing for my lack of blogging. We have been going going going and it doesn't look like we're anywhere close to slowing down. Last week we headed to Chapin SC while Tyler headed to Orlando for General Assembly (which is a gathering of PCA pastors). Our good buddies Sam and Ms. Melissa came with us while their daddy headed to Florida too. We adopted Sam and Melissa into our family and did lots of fun "Zaepfel" activities like going to the zoo, playing in the lake, riding the boat and even celebrating a birthday. We even got to hang out with the Brodster. We've also been celebrating our father thanks to a good ole' American holiday we like to call Father's Day. And, we are currently attending vacation Bible school at our church this week. So, as you can see we have and are staying pretty busy. The following pics are a little jumbled, but cuteness really needs no order...don't you agree?

Sam was adopted right into cousin bath time. He didn't even mind when Maggie and Brody crowded him to the side while they layed length wise in the tub.
Grandma Linda enjoyed her twentieth birthday while we were there. Happy birthday Grandma. Grandma Dot was there to celebrate too.
We enjoyed lots of quality time in the back yard at my parent's house. Maggie and Sam would take turns in the swing when they weren't swimming in the lake or playing with the dogs.
We went to the zoo one morning. We heard about the gorilla escaping from his cage after the fact. This didn't happen while we were there, but it had happened a few days earlier. Ignorance is bliss.
My little cub attempting to eat whatever he can find on the ground.

Back at Grandma Linda's house, Sam was very helpful in showing Henry how to play with the cars.
We made a fun pot for Grandma Linda's birthday.
When we headed back to Charlotte we tried capturing some pictures of Maggie and Henry since they were being so cuddly. This is one of the good ones where they are both somewhat looking in the same direction of the camera.
And, of course last Sunday we celebrated our Father. And what a good one we have...he plays tea party, he wrestles, reads, gives great hugs....
Shows us how to slip n' slide and anything else we need him to do as our Dad. And, we love him!
