Samantha's Birthday Pool Party!

The kids seemed to have a great time at the pool party last night (as you can see from the pictures above)! It was the perfect evening for a pool party, after a day of 95 degree temperatures. Our friends, Susie and Randy helped chaperone, and Susie did a fine job of documenting the occasion by taking lots of good pictures.

Kara's Dedication

Today was Kara's baby dedication at church, and Kathy's parents, sisters and their families were all there to celebrate with the three of us. It was a very nice service and the photo slideshow of all the children that were dedicated was terrific! After church, the 12 of us went to a wonderful brunch at Heatherfield's Restaurant. Everything was delicious, and we really appreciate Samantha and Kara's Nana & Papa treating us all! We were also celebrating Samantha's 13th birthday today with her grandparents, aunts & uncles, and cousins. It was a fun day, and a great way to end the weekend!
