.Fun memories and the !st day of school...

Thought that someone might need a laugh...I recently found this first picture(the caricature of Danny and I) in my drawer and thought that I should share it! There is one of my bro. and sis.-in-law, Dan and Becky Ellis, floating out there somewhere, too...We had them done together, before kids! Fun memories!
School is now underway and we are back to a nice routine....
I am also posting some fun "end~of~summer" memories...the Indiana State Fair(We were so glad the Papaw and Mamaw Kennedy were able to go with us!) and a weekend of camping with our good friends...David and Martha Going, and their sweet kids(I think that we have started a tradition!).
Hope that you are all having a great year...blessings to you all!

1st day of school 09/ Fair

Trip to Kalamazoo...

Danny had a CME trip to Kalamazoo, Michigan this past week...The kids and I always tag along on these trips and make it into a bit of vacation time. We "chill" until Danny gets done with his daily meetings and then go "out and about" for some fun family time. We visited South Haven a few times and fell in love with beautiful Lake Michigan! The kids enjoyed the sand in their toes and also some pool time at the hotel. Good times and great memories! Thought that I would share a few pics...
Can't believe that summer is winding down. We start school on the 24th and are trying to stretch............. this last week of summer out! It's not over till it's over...RIGHT? :)

Some fun in NC...

We spent a few days in the mountains of NC...There is something about "getting away" from city life and breathing in the fresh mountain air, listening to the birds sing, hiking to see the beautiful mountain views and sitting around a campfire with guitar accompaniment~~~that relaxes and renews one's soul. Our sweet(and FUN) nephew, Nate, went with us(he was our awesome guitarist).~~~My parents were also able to come for part of the time. We made WONDERFUL family memories, though the days went by way too fast. Thought that I would share some of our pictures...
