Welcome Home Party

The day after Hannah arrived home, we had a surprise "welcome home" party for her. She enjoyed seeing her friends again and all of her favorite foods she had missed while she was overseas. There were no fried eggs on anything and no fish!

Daniel in Action

Trying out some new tricks on the skateboard.

Enjoying the neighbor's trampoline. Since our summer season is short, we have to take advantage of ANY decent weather to use the trampoline!

My little boy is growing up! A few months from now he will be starting high school. Yikes! I feel OLD

Home at Last

Welcome home! We are so happy to have Hannah back from France. Here are some photos of Hannah when she was in Paris. Thank you so much to the Debout family for keeping her and showing her around France. While she is very happy to be home, she is already talking about living in France again after high school

Let the Show (Season) Begin

Some pictures of Leah's first show of the season. She has been able to get some part sponsorships from some local companies to help her cover the costs. Her and Blaze did very well and finished second over all. Today, they just did dressage and stadium jumping. The cross country course was too wet and muddy to ride. Great job you two!

Wedding Help

Julia and Leah helping me at Eva's wedding a few weekends ago. They spent the day with me working in the kitchen making sure all the food was ready to eat when the guests arrived for the reception. It was nice to see some familiar faces from Illinois and meet some new guests, too. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Bradle!

Sharpie Car

This is what happens when you give your friends Sharpies. Somehow, I keep thinking Andrew may be the last owner of this car :)
