A Visit with Southards

 Our friends the Southards came to visit us for a few days.  We had fun hanging out at home with Nintendo, trampoline, bonfire, etc and going swimming.

  At the pool we all tried to time going off the diving board and slide so we'd enter the water together.
Clara and Trevor were always the best.  They got it every time.   The rest of us had fun trying--even when it ended in a belly flop.

Happy Birthday Marianne

Another teenager (offically). 
Marianne was a good sport and let Emma dress her up in all her birthday gifts (and school clothes).

Happy Birthday James

Our little boy is getting big.  He says things that let us know he is thinking and planning and growing up.  (Like on Thursday when he said he wanted to stay at Grandma's house and I could just come pick him up later.)
