I just wanted to wish you all a very blessed Christmas. We're pretty scattered this year but I hope each of you and your families have a joyful time together.

Take pictures...post them here... :)

Love you!!

Julie at 7 Months

Grace took this photo of me and my growing belly so that we could give it to Chris. Please pray he makes it home to be at the birth!

4th of July

What are everyone's plans for the 4th? I'm hoping my office will close by 3 on July 3rd, then I'll head up for the party at Sue and Alan's in Stephenson. Anyone else making plans to be up there that weekend?

Anyone want to go hiking?

Just wanted to show off my latest hiking excursion. I love these trails! I wish they were closer but it's always worth the drive every time I go.

These are so cute if you have your sound on. I can't figure out how to flip them around though. Sorry.

Camp Lahti 2009

Here are the openings right now for Camp Lahti in July 2009. I will be going up there as of tomorrow 5/16, so if you want me to check on June or August, let me know. If you want to do swimming, July or August, or early September is the best. The kids always go swimming in June at their VBS Camp, so they don't care. That camp always starts on Father's day for the next 3 days. The weekend before is Confirmation Camp. The weekend following Father's Day may be available. I will try to get any other dates available so you can decide on which one to choose. It will probably have to be one we just pick and try to get as many up there as possible.
Norma checked the openings today for July 2009 & the first weekend (like the 4th etc is open & also the 2nd weekend; the 3rd weekend has a question mark & the last is taken. They fill up fast.
Let me know if you have preferences.

Camping Update

Have camping sites been reserved yet? I'll remind Jessica to reserve ours and Tim & Erin's. I wanted to double check as well, is everyone only planning for Friday and Saturday nights or are people staying Sunday night too? I need to plan ahead for taking time off.

Jeff and Karen Family Stuff

Thought we'd put a few of our current family photos on here.

Here's the boys in our hallway after the carpeting was laid.

Girls' Night

Here are the pictures from the Celtic Woman concert. With not being able to use the flash, they are a little bit blurred. That was such a great concert!
