What a summer! Part 1















Well, I guess summer is officially over and I had better update my blog! Wow, it has been packed full of visitors, visiting and busy activities...in fact, I have so many pictures and memories that I guess I will make it a two part er;-)

It started with a fun visit from Jen and friends, then, Amy, Centry and grand kids, including one great (who braved the hottest time of the year here) and I was able to top it off with a visit to see Matti, Jon and their two little ones in Hawaii. In addition there were sprinklings of visits from good friends. For those who could not make it to see the old folks we are hopeful that maybe we can get together very soon:) In the interim we have appreciated all the Skyping, IMs, texts, photos, calls and letters to keep in touch. So many fun moments to record in our memory book. Thanks you guys for making it so special!

In honor of Grandma Ruth's 96th birthday this month, I thought it would be the perfect time to show our appreciation for our kids. Dad and I are so very grateful for our wonderful family.

Here are a few of the many highlights to relive again the past few months...
