So it has been quite a fun summer! We have been in our new house for over 6 months now, and I have been in total heaven. I think the highlights of the summer though have been time spent with family! We have had a number of GTG’s at our new place, and the biggest of all was a huge multi family BBQ my Sister Missy and I put on! Anybody related to us and our siblings was invited. It was a huge blast with family staying/camping (literally) for 4+ days. It was so fun, but the opposition came as well…somehow a bug got around and we had quite a few people with a stomach virus. Unfortunately, Missy got hit the worst, and she was out of commission, but the others still found it in themselves to have a great time. You wouldn’t have known that people were under the weather! Except Missy, poor Missy
We also began a new tradition! Kevin’s parents lent us their old volleyball net, and we played for HOURS! That has been a hit all summer.
Anywho, I’ve had a great time, and I hope you all did as well…

This is Issac, our new “adopted brother” you’d say. He came to almost all of our GTG’s with Marshal, and we will feel like somebody is missing from now on if he doesn’t keep coming! He was puking too, but you wouldn’t know it! I’ll post his senior pics later!
