July Camp Out




We just got back from our first camping trip as a family, and of course Dan will say this is our first of many. It was a good time, a little on the hot side for our liking though. We headed out Friday to Miami Whitewater park in Indiana, right on Brookville Lake. Got our tent set up, and everything in order once we got there. We just had a good time that night, cooked a little, played on the play equipment. Sarah and Dan went fishing for all of two minutes. I don't think Sarah has the attention span yet for that. Sarah told us she would have eaten the fish if she caught it. On Saturday Sarah and Emily and I went with Kim, Ellie and Judy to the sandy beach. I don't remember the last time the girls had so much fun. We were there for about 2 hours and Sarah and Emily weren't even close to ready to leave. Emily took a well deserved nap while Sarah and I played Candy Land after that. We had a number of visitors out for the night after that. We enjoyed some dinner and more time on the play equipment before the girls called it an early night. Dan and I took a nice night walk and then played Risk with friends until about 2 in the morning. It was a great family trip. I think my personal favorite part was eating camping breakfast. There is nothing better than eggs, bacon, and sausage. Hope you all enjoy the pictures!

Chris Henry Update



Well, the latest news is that our dear friend Chris Henry is broke. Apparently his home and SUV will soon be taken from him. This was devestating news for Sarh and Emily seeing that Chris is their favorite ex-football player and felone. I suppose we will have to find a new player to get our picture taken with. Until then, this one will have to do. By the way, who in the world is the other guy? We still cannot figure it out.

Sarah's 3rd Birthday


Happy fourth of July
Today was the big day for Sarah - she turned 3 years old
It was quite a celebration
We started the day with breakfast followed by shopping at Kroger's for some last minute party supplies
Just to let everyone know, I would not reccommend purchasing balloons from Krogers - they were deflated and on the ground by 6pm
After shopping we all attended the Anderson Township 4th of July Parade
I'll tell you what - the girls had a blast
Emily walked around in the street grabbing all the candy she could
Both Sarah and Emily enjoyed waving at everyone
I think Dan's favorite part was watching the fire trucks go by
After this, lunch was consumed followed by a well deserved nap
Then the party began
Picnic food for dinner and two cakes for dessert
Afterwards Sarah enjoyed opening numerous presents
She even got to play with her new playdoh and the Lady Bug Game before getting a bath and heading off to bed
It was really fun, Sarah had a great birthday
Can't wait to do it again soon
