Tyler and Lauren weren't able to make it to the Mleynek Reunion. This was because the Mleynek reunion was scheduled the weekend after the 4th of July. I can't remember the last time we drove to Iowa two weekends in a row. It was worth it, though! All of the Mleyneks really wanted to meet Tyler and Lauren and hear of their trip to Czech Republic a few months ago. Something else that was very interesting was that we learned that the name "Lauren" is not new to the Mleynek family. I was hoping to get a picture of our Lauren beside Dale's Dad's firt cousin, Mr. Loren Mleynek! He is the son of Fred Mleynek, Dale's Dad's brother. Another really neat thing about Loren was that he is a strong Christian and prayed the blessing over our evening meal on Saturday night. It was a powerful prayer to the LORD for us all.

Speaking of Mr. Mleyneks, here is the youngest one in the family right now. I was pretty impressed to see Cooper want a hard- boiled egg! He's a good little eater, and look at those beautiful brown eyes! We found out at the Mleynek reunion that one of the brothers of Donald, Dale's Dad, living in a small town in Iowa called "Cooper"! That really makes Cooper's name even more significant and Derek and Amy didn't even know this before they named him! God gets the glory for this.
Back at home, Dale had put off putting up the pool for the kids until we were home to take care of it. Everyone was excited and helped Dale get it going.
