Summer 2009 Update

It's been a while.... let's see, in the last 7 months Mac has gotten 5 teeth, is walking, is swimming, is learning to float, and is just a JOY!


Finn is learning more and more every day, and keeps us in stitches constantly. He has learned to swim and float this summer (Thanks Miss Jala!), and is working on liking the water! He LOVES anything ipod related- yes, he is in fact 4. Techno daddy, what can I say.


Sarah Ryann has graduated from 2nd grade, went to her first overnight camp (Twin Lakes, what great fun!), has lost 2 more teeth, is getting 2 more teeth, and is such a wonderful big sister!



We had Cameron for a week this summer- thanks Matt and Leigh! It was great, the kids played late every night, hunted for lightening bugs, watched movies, and had a GREAT time being together....


We have visited all the great grandparents, and have generally just had a great time being together. We have added a new addition - Parker- who came home the weekend before July 4th, after we found him abandoned at Fairpark, and he has turned out to be a great kitten... as you can see, he even lets Mac carry him around without any fuss. Who could ask for more? Of course, when he gets a little bigger he will be relegated to the outdoors along with the others (Purr, Nick, and Other Kitty- the new one...), but for now he enjoys life in the garage and kitchen.


Dan had a birthday, the BIG 40, which he has taken in stride... I think the prospect of a week in Maine has assisted in that endeavor. We are really excited about going in September, and so thankful that my brave parents are willing to keep all three kids for an entire week so that we can go. Thanks Mimi and Grandaddy!


Obviously, I am not a very good blogger as I do not update frequently, but stay tuned.... more is sure to come.
