Last week was pretty crazy!!!

Last week was a fun filled crazy time! Aunt Rachel and the kids, Ethan, Lauren and Amelia came up from Texas. We had the joint birthday cake and ice cream party for Parker and Rowan. Courtney and I went to Will and Stefanie's wedding, which was a hoot. Sean and Charlene Perry just had their 4th baby. All in all, it's been a fun filled week and a stressful one too. I have been trying to get my other business rolling and that's been sucking up a ton of my time. In any case, we're so completely blessed to have family and friends that are so great! Lindsay is officially moved out to Kalamazoo, so we're missing her already. Life is good, however.

4th of July was fun!!!

Well, another celebration of our country's birthday has gone by and what a fun time we had! We went over to Aunt Judy's and Uncle Don's house and had the annual crazy outdoor games tournament. We cooked out and had lots of food that we shouldn't have had. Everything was great until the fireworks came. All of the kids ran into the house scared, except Jude. Well, obviously he didn't run, but he wasn't scared either. It was hilarious- envision a huge firework exploding, Gabe's face just looking as shocked and helpless as possible, and then just seeing him dart as fast as his little legs and arms can swing themselves. It was funny sight. It was just too bad that Uncle Don had to celebrate the festivities in a cast from his recent golf accident...poor devil. It was also great to see the rest of the family, especially Aunt Kay coming up from FLA.

What a wonderful country we live in. What freedoms we enjoy! We are so blessed to enjoy them! Let us never take them forgranted.
