Busy Summer!

 We have had a very busy summer at the Fernau household.  Levi has kept us busy with many walks and bike rides and many, many trips to the back yard to visit the neighbors horses.  Levi loves to be outside and dig in the garden or help grandpa pick up sticks.  He loves to see any truck or car drive by the house and loves to go to Grandma and Grandpa Fernau's house to play and see the trains down the street from their house!  He is getting excited about Baby Fernau coming in a a few months and loves to give the baby kisses and hugs!  He is starting to form full sentences which is so fun for us to hear and we are also working on the Alphabet with him!  He can make it all the way to "F" before he gets bored with it :)
Here are a few pictures from our summer!


Levi loves to dig in the garden!

Just like Daddy!




At the end of July we had a wind storm one evening and the neighbors tree blew over onto Joe's car.  Our Amish neighbor, Henry, came over the next morning with his chain saw and took care of the branches for us.  He wanted to wood for firewood.  Thankfully no one was hurt and there was not major damage to the cars or the houses.

Grandma and Papa Fernau were down helping us with
baby sitting the week of the wind storm so they were
able to help with the clean up as well!

Levi, of course, was a huge help as well!  He still talks
about the "tree, boom down, on dada's vroom vroom"
(the tree fell down on daddy's car) :)




First tase of sweet corn for the year! Yummy!

Levi loves to see the horses and feed them apples!

We also have some GREAT news!  We have sold our house and will be movning to a bigger house in Wellman!  We are so excited about this and have been praying this will happen before baby Fernau is born in October!  It is all working out so well and we know its all a God thing and we are so thankful for all the hard work our Realtor Karen has done for us!  We will be moving to Norm and Joyce's over labor day weekend and hopefully to the Wellman house the next weekend!  Thank you everyone for your prayers and support during this process.  We feel so very blessed that this is working out!  Also we feel so blessed with a healthy pregnancy and healthy Baby Fernau!  My appointments have been going well and I have had no problems with this pregnancy.  We are so blessed with a normal pregnancy and can't wait to welcome this new little one to our family this fall!
