Family Gathering Memorial Day Weekend

I apologize for not blogging in a while. With both our jobs, planting a new church, and helping the Hills through the transition period, we have been consumed with too much to do. We will fill you all in at the reunion. Joel and Jill moved this spring into a new home away from the busy corner where they risked their life everyday to get in and out of the driveway. They are still in Bolingbrook a 5 Lacebark Ct. which puts them in cul-de-sac with much less traffic. We got together for the first time in months. Sad how we are so close, but yet so far. This is Anna's graduation time as well so another one off to college. This will have to hold you till I take some more pictures.

Relaxing after a good meal.

Paul has found a friend. Now go away doggie!

Someone from Joel's houshold is looking to Scooter for some dessert too!

Joel is serving up dessert in the newly remodeled kitchen.

Guess who is growing up to be a "big" girl? Abigail is just growing into her hair, which is gettting lighter by the week.

Guess what noise Zeke and Sam are going for?

Elia and Shawn enjoy some ice cream. Do you think they like ice cream?

Visitations

Abby and Jo have been visiting me at the office quite often lately. Jo & Scooter live about 5 minutes from the office so it's on the way to Costco, Jo's favorite store for feeding 2, no make that 3 growing boys . It's good they stop in often cause Abigail changes so quickly. She certainly is the princess who knows what she wants and how to get it! As you can see she has not missed too many feeding times.



We also have some other visitors who are not so welcome. I've tried to get rid of these squirrels, but they know where their bread is buttered. Can't have the birds without the squirrels. When I visited Jeff and Dena, Jeff gave me a squirrel feeder, so now they have their own toy to play with.





Now I just try to co-exist with them so that we can all be happy. Maybe I need to invite the Bremer family for a weekend. Then we could take care of the squirrel problem and have some good eat'in!
