   Happy Summer everyone! I found this blog post sitting in my drafts because of some computer trouble last month so it is a bit late but here are some pictures of our Easter weekend in April! Our family at a scenic mill we walked around on Easter Sunday. All the Morley cousins visiting us for the weekend! We were still enduring the shutdown due to coronavirus so we had church at home. Here the youngest children are sitting watching the online service! Laura and her cousins, Elisabeth and Lydia! Best friends! Caleb and his buddies, Matthew and Josiah. More updates and pictures from our family, coming soon!
