THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN

VBS is in mid-swing!

WEDDING

At the end of June, Mike's youngest brother got married.

We were "in charge of" games.

Prepping.

The girls handed out bubbles 

and Michael was the ring bearer.

Escorting out Great Grandma

Favors.

Partial room.

Congratulations, Matt & Jen!

BIRTHDAY BOY

Michael turned 9 today!

Almost to the double digits!

Michael was recently diagnosed with Lyme Disease and we postponed his birthday party (which was scheduled for today) until he is back up to his normal self.

We gave him presents this morning..

and then as a treat, went out for brunch.

The day is still young, we will see what else it brings.

I know it will bring dirt dessert..and chicken drumsticks as requested, but other than that, we're laying low.

Happy Birthday Michael!

We love you and are so glad you are feeling better!

TRYING FOR TEETH

Our little one has been teething now for some time and has three teeth through..two on top and one on the bottom..and a couple more in the works that will be through soon.

I was trying to get a picture of his teeth.

It didn't work out so well.

But, look at that skin!

Babies have such soft, beautiful skin.

Grant never even got the usual breast-fed baby rash, like the rest of my kids.

Let's hope adolescence will be gentle.
