Weekend at the Farm with Ty and Val

Ty, Val and Leo spent the weekend at the farm...lots of fun,

laughter, long hikes, pictures, outdoors and good food!

Bonfire

We had a bonfire at the farm this weekend.

Not only did we burn up the junk wood from the

barn renovations, we enjoyed the beautiful evening!

Kiera was extra excited to have her friend sleepover after

the bonfire!

Best Friends: The Next Generation

So excited to sneak in a visit with Meredith and her family!

We hadn't seen each other for about seven years, and I'd never

met her precious boys...so when she called to say she was in 

town, we jumped at the chance to see her, even if it was a school 

night and their hotel was an hour away. Like they say with old friendships, 

we picked up right wherewe left off! Our kids had fun playing together...

making S'mores, running down a big hill, and being silly. 

We vowed to make ourtime between visits much shorter! 

Life Lately

Here's what we've been up to lately...

Swing set fun at Mimi and Papa's cookout

Papa's new toy...

He made delicious chili!

Where are the Dog Days of Summer? We've got a dog, and it's

summer, but where's the sultry heat?

Since my school year was over before Kiera's, I was able to chaperone

her end of the year zoo field trip without missing work. Here's our group!
