Changing seasons

Since autumn begins this coming Friday I better post the rest of our summer pictures before they are old news. In the "summer wrap up" album you can find pictures from a trip to Fort Wayne while Nate went to Bristol Motor Speedway with his dad and Grandpa, some snapshots of Will and Sara's first days of school and pictures from our Labor Day weekend camping trip to Brown County State Park. We had a great time and enjoyed a little bit of everything from 100 degrees, storms and then temperatures in the 50's, s'mores and other delicious camping food. The kids especially loved playing outside with their cousins. Making memories of a lifetime... my favorite thing to do.

Will is 5!!!

Will turned 5 years old on August 12. He celebrated with a few of his friends on the Sunday before his birthday with a party at Otte Golf. On his birthday we had a picnic lunch with Nana and Papa and then went to Pizza King Station with them at night. On the Sunday after Will's birthday we had a big (and somewhat rainy) party with all of our family. The birthday that went on forever!!!

At 5 years old Will weights 40 lbs and is 43 inches tall. He would tell you his favorite things are CARS, dinosaurs and fish. The night before he turned 5 years old he learned to swing all by himself on our swingset. He said, "Wow, being 5 is so fun! I can't wait to be 5 for the whole next year!!" We have been so blessed to have such a thoughtful, sweet and funny brother and son with us these past 5 years. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WILL!!!!!
