Spring and Summer at a Glance

I suppose there's no excuse or explanation for being away for five and a half months, so here's a peek at some highlights from our family life this spring and summer.

Adam has really advanced in Karate! He's a purple belt now and he loved doing a week long karate camp this summer.

 

The cousins went on a fun Spring Break trip to Great Wolf Lodge with Pappy and Mary.

SWIMMING!

We spent LOTS of time at our pool and MaMaw's pool, with friends and cousins.

 

 The boys had a second fun, successful year on the swim team! They both improved and had fun. Ray was able to place fifth in the butterfly in the league meet!
