We enjoyed an evening on the lake on Evie and Dan's wonderful aqua patio. (AP) It was a delightful evening, enjoying the water, wind, food, and friends (and a few drinks, too.) We finished with the sun setting in the distance, just before we docked.

W had great fun celebrating Tom's 60th birthday. Ken tries to get his wireless finder shirt working, and with Evie's batteries (or were they Dan's?) we made a connection.

Here, someone isn't playing well with others.

But we had a great time, as usual. I think Tom was happy with his gifts. We look forward to Evie's and John's birthdays, which we will celebrate soon.
A wonderful evening, with wonderful friends, great food, and thoughtful gifts.

All smiles!

While Corey and Lexy went picking strawberries, we watched the two little ones. They were all smiles that morning. Brooklynn really pours it on when the camera is pointed in her direction. She seems even happier now that her tonsils are gone, and she is felling better. What great smiles!

It's a Parade

While Brooklynn recouperated from her tonsilectomy, her bother and sister watched a parade in Corinna. The weather wasn't the best, but the kids didn't mind. I love the one of Dawson, since just a few months ago, he couldn't hear much. The sirens on the firetrucks really bothered his ears. Papa is explaining something to Lexy, and she seems very interested. Thanks to the Condons for hosting our streetside seats.

Fun in the Sun July 6, 2008

We had a family gathering over the weekend, and it was a perfect day for the pool. It's been a long time since we had this much activity in the pool. All the kids went in and enjoyed the water. Lexy and Izabel were waterlogged by the end of the day. Brooklynn conked out, and took a nap on the deck. Even little Alyvia enjoyed getting cooled off.
