Wow!  I can't believe we are to mid July.  We are having a blast this summer.  Big Brother Nick was in a softball tournament down in Carmel, IN so we made a quick trip there to watch him win.  It was really fun and the kids enjoyed not only seeing Nick make great plays but having some Sweet Nolan time is always good!

Grandma Carol had her official birthday this week on Friday so we joined her and friend Lynn for lunch at Panera,  We all had a good time.  Grandma's birhday just seems to go on and on.  I guess when you are 77 everyday is a party!

Wildcat has been a huge blessing this summer.  Josh is on the Barons "Kat" team and Cate is on the girls' softball team.  They both are loving the relaxed atmosphere and the staff is so kind and nuturing.  So much fun for these guys!

 

We had friends, Analiece and brother JP, to the Y pool with us one day.  We have a wonderful YMCA close to our house and it has been a lifesaver this summer.  Lots of great programs and a new outdoor waterpark.  So fun!

 

 

 

We went to a park with Autumn and Nolan one day.  Such great parks in the Carmel area.

 

 

 

We had a fun visit with Grandma Joan and ate lunch with her at her assisted living home.

 

 

Cate is quite the game player.  Whether is it Uno or Life she is ready to take you on!

 

 

 

To finish our week off we met our good friends, John & Kim Porter, at a waterpark 1/2 way between us.  It was a hot day and the water felt great.

 

 

 

The summer is flying by and we are having so much fun it is exhausting.   These kids are so fun and God is so good we just can't help ...

 

Choosing joy,

Chris & crew
