Vacation

Ben took last week off and we had friends drive 12 hours to come see us! We were so happy they could spend the week with us. Our first stop was the beach. We stayed at Fenwick Island overnight and everybody had a great time.

Soccer!

It just seems weird to me. Timmy had his first soccer practice this evening. Ben worked, so the kids and I watched Timmy kick the ball around. I got Tim ready and didn't realize he needed socks over his shin guards. Oops! He'll be better prepared next week.

Also, there are 11 boys on the team. 3 Zacharys and 3 Timmys. I would expect Zachary to be popular, but Timmy? I seriously had no idea.


(Tim is the one out front)

Little Joseph is 11 months old today. It's hard to believe how fast the time flies! He's really taken to walking this last week or so and it is terribly cute.

(pay no attention to our mess)

Fun with cousins!

All 12 grandchildren together for the first time. The twelfth, Zeke, was born just a week ago. We visited at Aunt Mary's house this morning and then went to the lake for swimming. Everyone had a blast!
