No Blogging Lately?

Well, we have been busy. Do you remember this chair pictured below? I think I blogged about it over 3 years ago.. We finally finished reupholstering it. It's about 95% done. Just a few more details and it will be 100% done.

Cute little doll sitting here huh?

 We've also had friends come and visit. The Jacksons whom we've know since Okinawa days are moving back to Okinawa. Jamey made the drive with their 8 children and spent a few hours with us. It was a fun day!

Babies Moriah and Hazel.

 Next up was Vacation Bible School. Every morning for a week I packed up this crew and we headed south for fun adventures in the book of Jonah.

This particular morning the kids brought Sunflowers and Zinnias to their teachers.

 What's more fun than a picnic on a warm Summer day? Perhaps a trip to the Air Museum... That's what we did following the picnic. No pictures of that experience, but it was just as fun if not more than eating yummy food.

Sweet family eating.

Hazel liked the picnic too.

We popped a squat under the branches of this tree.

Just chillin.

As if all of the above wasn't enough we drove North, more North, and even further North to reach the most beautiful of states... Maine! On the way there we stopped in Manasquan, New Jersey for a little beach and surfing time. The following leg ended in a trip to Fenway Park to watch the Indians and Red Sox play. What fun!!

The purpose for the Maine trip was of course a little family fun, but the big event was a wedding. My cousin Abby, whom I haven't seen since we were little girls, got married. It was a nice ceremony. I got to see a lot of relatives whom I haven't touched base with in years.

We had to eat Lobster almost daily. Here the kids are eating crab sandwiches. Samuel was sad about it. Poor little guy. The cabin we stayed in was picturesque. It was like a sketch out of a Robert McClosckey book.

At the wedding reception. My beautiful kids and their crazy Meme.

My Grandmother on my fathers side. Precious soul! 

Dad and Mom.

What's a wedding without Benjamin and Jackie stealing the dance floor?

After the wedding events we headed out to my Grandmothers camp on my Mom's side. The kids played and we ate yummy italian sandwiches.

My cousins and I. I think that my cousin Dana on the far right looks a little like my brother Clint.

Samuel and Poppa.

Colby and Jackie kayaking.

These are my children and some of my cousins' children on my moms side.

 We made it home safely and celebrated Louisa's birthday on the way back. We've had so much fun these past few weeks. Hazel found her beautiful smile at about her 4th week of life. We've been soaking it up ever since.
