Greetings, friends!
Once again, it has been months since my last blog post! I really don’t understand why y’all still visit this poor, forlorn, forsaken web address. 🙂
Last time we parted, Grace had just gotten married, and Kitty and Peter were getting ready leave us.
In June of 2014, we were preparing for Uncle Hans’ visit, and our last family vacation before Kitty and Peter moved to Florida.
First off, Uncle Hans gave us a surprise visit in the beginning of June! It is always a pleasure to receive a visit from him, and we enjoyed our time thoroughly! 🙂
Love this shot of Peter giving Uncle Hans a hug!
Brothers reunited.
The soon-to-be faraways.
Love this picture, too!

Playing Charades! You get some funny pictures from this game!

At the Lake with Mark. Hi Mark!
Paul was thrilled to see Uncle Hans, and oh so sorrowful to see him leave us. 🙁
The last week of July, we went on our Family Vacation.
At the Springfield Conservation Park. They had no “Safety Rails” on the trails! Us wild homeschool children were decidedly happy about that fact. 😉
Paul mounts the giant caterpillar.

I better stop now lest you bid me adieu. “

Yes, I am Ms State-the-Obvious.
I shall leave you with a flowery ray of sunshine!
I go now, but I’ll return, and when I do I will give your computer an overload that it has never yet experienced.
For when I return, we will see Weddings, Babies, and Holidays! 🙂
