More of June.

June was a busy month. It was also Aiden's 7th birthday, we went on a field trip to the Fire Department with the other homeschoolers, there was a year end soccer tournament for Gemma and Aiden, Aiden had a piano recital, and we found out we are adding a baby brother to our family! We didn't catch it all on camera but here are a few pics....
