Gigi's Birthday Weekend

Jay's grandmother, also known as Gigi, turned 85 on July 17th! She takes care of our boys during the summer and after school each day. We are so blessed to have her in our lives and glad we could celebrate her 85th birthday.

She asked for all of us to attend church with her and then we had lunch at Carl and Jessica's. The adults enjoyed pinochle and the kids played outside in the water. It was hot, but there was a breeze occasionally. Everyone had a great time and it was nice for all of us to be together.

Here she is with her cousin, Art and his wife Eleanor. This was the night before her birthday celebration.

We didn't get a picture of Gigi with her great grandsons, but Elizabeth got a really cute one a few weeks ago:

We are on vacation this week! Thanks to modern technology, I can catch up on some blogging while on the road. More to come, so please check back soon!

Beau's 7th Birthday

We celebrated Beau's birthday with family and friends at our house a few Saturday's ago. It was a fun day for Beau, complete with a camp out in our backyard and 4 boys braving the great outdoors!

Happy 4th of July!
