June 2017 pt 1

Our June was packed full of amazing! Summer has arrived, and summer in Maine is wonderful. Cade graduated from high school (!!), Livi graduated from Pre-K, Patsy and Jim visited twice and we had a lovely Schurz family reunion. While we really missed Jake, Diana and Kylie, we had a pretty perfect time with all who were able to make it. It was such a gift to be able to spend such a special week together. Prepare for hundreds of pictures below!
