It's been a great summer so far! Lately we have been getting ready for the newest member of the Tossell family, are continuing to get our new house in order, continuing with homeschool and also trying to find time to enjoy the nicer summer weather as much as we can. We recently took a family road trip out east which was a lot of fun and educational too. Here are a few recent pictures:

Things we are looking forward to in the near future: Libby will begin art classes through a local art studio. Chad will begin teaching Cross Cultural Psychology at a local Christian University. I will soon be in my 8th month of pregnancy. A visit from Grandma Raimondi (Chad's mom) around the time of Chad and Libby's birthdays.
