This Summer our kids formed some really great new friendships with some of their cousins that they hadn’t met yet. They were up at the homestead with us for a couple of weeks and they really became close.

You 2 . . .
love Ocean Water from Sonic, and you both beg for mozzarella sticks (but peal the breading off before you eat it.)
think light sabers and babies are equally fun to play.

Can not sing together at the same time. We...
Yay! Dad is here!

the homestead. When dad is around there is alot less singing & dancing
