Dinner with the Schmidts

We had dinner with the Schmidts.  For those of you who do not know, Bill and Jessie Schmidt are my sister-in-law, Rachel's parents.  Marvin also lived with them for two years.

Bill and Jessie have not only been great supports of Josh and Rachel , but Mom and Dad also.

There was time for clowning around.

Luken liked his dinner.  I love this smile.

Summer Fun

Well, they were here and now they have left.  We had a great visit with my parents and sisters.  The time was too short, but that is how it goes.

I am finally ready to share all the pictures I took over the last month.  I will show you a bit of what we did with them.

We took a couple of trips to the beach.

Troy was taking too long to get into the water.

Luken loves the beach.  He loves the sand, but now he no longer eats it.

 There is much more fun to come.
