For Dad...

Here's next year's lawn ornament:

For Sean...

Okay, people. I guess it's that time of year again. Since Spencer just got thrown in last year, the rotation didn't work this year because Mike and Min ended up giving to themselves. So I just kind of readjusted it. Hopefully everyone agrees? If theres an issue, feel free to comment!

Will any of you prodigals be here this Christmas? I know we will, sniff sniff, for one last Christmas.

Mike and Mindy - Jared and Kristen
Sean and Keli - Bryan and Kirsten
Jared and Kristen - Michelle and Ken
Bryan and Kirsten - Spencer and ?
Michelle and Ken - Mike and Mindy
Spencer and ? - Sean and Keli

I forget, do we give to all the grandkids, or just the ones in the family we have?

Vacationing in Cincinnati

This past week we went to Cincinnati to visit with Ken's family. Phil and Bonnie are in the process of moving from Boston to Charlotte, NC. They are staying with Ken's parents until they start their job mid July. Tressa had a blast playing with her cousins Sadie and Matt. Although, Matt was a little jealous with Tressa because he was not the baby of the house. Towards the end, Matt would be nice to her and would play well with her. Sadie just adored Tressa and cried when we left for home.

While we were there, the kids played outside in the little kiddy pool on the deck. The adults went and saw Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. The day before we left we went to the Ohio Caverns in Northwest Ohio. We had a great time visiting, now it is time for reality to set in and Ken starting his job a couple of days ago.

Here are some pictures from our trip.

Tressa enjoying a summer hot day in the pool.

Here we are taking a tour in the Ohio Caverns.
