May Niceville news

Greetings, family.  I assume Alicia sends you all links to our missionary girls' weekly news and pictures.  Here are a few shots of the rest of us.

 Keyan, like the infamous "cat who came back" just keeps showing up in Niceville every few weeks.  And we love it.  Here he made it to a funeral for a sweet lady he and I both home taught over the past few years.  I tried to fill in for him after he left. I really like his suit.

 Josh again taking his (homemade) boat out on Boggy Bayou.  If you can't read the name, I thought it was sweet of him to name it the Sarah Elizabeth after two of his sisters.

 Lyrad and Alicia at Crystal Beach.  Though we live 15 minutes away we rarely go enjoy it, so here we are enjoying a date (while Josh went to see the new Avengers movie in a nearby mall.  I had a feeling the good guys would predictable win again after each getting blown up a few dozen times, so I chose to watch the waves instead.)

 We had some water leaking behind the poorly installed backsplash in our rented home.  So I tried to do something I had never done before- install tile.  If was kind of fun, but like most of my projects, took longer than anticipated.

 Alicia held a little recital for her piano students this afternoon. Josh is in the back, but looks about the same as in the picture above.

Another time Keyan stopped by at Eglin hospital.

We are looking forward to seeing almost all of you in a  few weeks in UT!  If you have any fun family pics to share, please post them here! Or send them to me to post for you.   Love- Lyrad
