Summer Update

The family went to Connecticut (without me) in May.

They enjoyed it very much!

 Dad, three of his sisters, and Mama

 Molly and A.J.

 Not having their older sister made them go a little goofy...

While they were in Connecticut Luke and Brent were on a missions trip to the Philippines.

 They were able to see many young men saved on their trip.

Lizzie and Rick had their third child, Michael, in May.

 We lost Mom for a few days while she went up to help right after the birth.

 We have had several opportunities to play volleyball (a personal favorite of mine) this summer.

Cousins!

Bethann came to visit for a few days.

We were able to meet up with Rick and Bethany at the Creation Museum.

We have been to the museum once before, but enjoyed being able to go again.

 We all loved being able to see them.

 Adorable Ronan!

 The kids were all fascinated with the zebra/donkey mix.

Mindy and I were a little tired and wired (if that's possible).

 Eli came back for a week this summer before heading to a new job out in Florida.

Kaity and Em are both expecting and are both due in October/November.

Molly and her friend Lauren

 Mindy's new boyfriend. ;)

Having nieces and nephews can sometimes bring out the silly in us.

 We have a new dog! That I really like, by the way.

Mom was able to drive out with Reid and Em to see her parents (and a couple sisters).

 A couple of the girls in Molly's class.

 Sisters are amazing!

 Dad and Addie (Thacker)

 And I found a picture of Dad without his picture smile!

We have been able to see Brent and Kaity and the kids several times this summer.

We always enjoy having Kaity and the kids... and Brent. :)

Hopefully I will be back soon!
