Who, what, when, where, what?

Summer is moving fast. New skills, good friends, and having a great time.

This little girl loves swings

Here she is again with some friends while her brother learns to play football.

Isobel turned two! Grandma gave her a doll.

Papa . . . some finer points of public dinning.

Some berry picking with other friends.


Displaying our fine social skills with ice cream again.

The weather has been nice. We have had a great summer with all our friends. I am enjoying my time with these little gifts.

Our Hero!

He truly carries us all on his shoulders (or above them). Thank you Ian for faithfully providing and leading our family. You do a fantastic job and I am blessed to have you as my forever friend and spouse. I love you. You make our house fun. Our children look forward to having you at home. Each week there is a count down until the weekend for when "is daddy staying home today?" You are truly valued, respected, and loved here, in your home.

This boy wants to camp

If you have any tips for the great outdoors PLEASE share them . . . for his sake!

My boys love the 4th!

We had a lot of fun at grandma and papa's house.

Evie had a great time. Lots of time with the big boys . . . I mean men. This was one of dad's days at home. He had four days off and the kids soaked it up.

The kids and I made firework t-shirts. Isobel's said "our little firework". And that she is.

Track Nights

No wonder I can not keep up with him.

Want to know what is special about today?

Ian is home! There is no emergency, delivery, or illness (those are the only times he takes off work). Just an extra day with daddy. All of us are very happy about it.
