Roger turns 60!

My father-in-law turned 60 on August 11th.  The family got together over the weekend for birthday celebration festivities.  We had a party at our house on Friday and then spent Saturday hanging out at "the pond" swimming, lazing around and enjoying life.

First Day of School

Nolan started Kindergarten!  Our last child begins his academic career.  Here's hoping for smooth sailing his rookie season!  Alex and Emma started their first day of homeschool today too!

The Dunes

We headed up to the Dunes today with a couple other families from our church.  We were just north of the Indiana Dunes at Mt. Baldy.  It was our kids' first time at Lake Michigan.  They were pretty in awe of the vastness of the water and the huge sandbox.  They were up and down the hill a bunch of times.  It was a great day together.

Kermit D. Frawg

Setting the grill up this evening, I found this frog attached to the siding.  Kind of a neat looking creature and a lot nicer than the toads we normally see around here.

Lead Me

I put a little slide show together of the G6 and families to the song "Lead Me" by Sanctus Real...a reminder to keep it 'real'.

Jarod's Squash

My bro-in-law set us up w/ some squash from his garden.  We dove in "like it was our job."  Thanks for the sustinence Jarod!

Nolan turns 6

I've had these pictures for a while but forgot to post them.  Happy Birthday Nolan!
