Trout Lake family camp 2016

 We had a fantastic week at Family Camp!  Lots of family time.  Some adult time.  Lots of friend time. 

We came home dirty and exhausted!  But memories were made. 

 Love our little people.  Love this tradition we began.  Here's to next year!!

Family Camp 2016 :)  Until next time...

Eli turns 7!

Celebrated Eli's bday with family a bit early tonight.  He turns 7 on Saturday.  What an incredible kid.  Tender-hearted, sensitive, sweet, and yet also all-boy... tough, strong, extremely athletic.  He has stolen my heart from day one and my love for him continues to grow.  So thankful for him.  So thankful for what he brings to our family.  So thankful to be able to walk through life beside him.  Looking forward to seeing him thrive in 1st grade this year!!  Love you Elias James.

summer :)

 Summer is flying!!  We have done some fun mini-trips!  We spent a weekend in July up at Trout Lake Camp with Lynn and Aaron and Jess.  Yes, that's Oliver in his life jacket.  He wore it everywhere :)

 The kids' favorite part of the summer (so far) was our trip to Anderson, Indiana to visit Uncle Phil and Auntie Kylee.  We crashed their house for three nights.  We relaxed, did crafts, swam at a nearby pool, visited a park, went to Phil's work, ate delicious donuts, and went to the Children's Museum.  Such fun!

Memories were made!  Fun was had!  We will do it again :)
