Our trip to Wisconsin

In one of these pictures, the girls were playing dress up with some of my dress up clothes from growing up. We also celebrated Elizabeth's 5th birthday.


The kids and I went up to Wisconsin for a few days. It was wonderful to see family and be home. We got to spend some time with Grandpa and Grandma Beyer, saw my Aunt Ceanna and Uncle Greg, my Aunt Karen and Uncle Robert and got to go to my cousin Katie's bridal shower. Thanks to all who made the effort to come and see us while we were home! And thanks Mom and Dad for a wonderful week!

Play-Doh and Painting...

Chicago and Mark and Jen's Wedding

Pictures from the wedding. It was a beautiful location and a beautiful day...









Over the 4th of July weekend, we went to Chicago. Thanks to Aunt Jodi for letting us crash at your place even though you weren't there!:) We went to the Lincoln Park zoo, swam in Lake Michigan (in clothes because we didn't have our swimsuits and the girls couldn't resist the temptation!), walked through the conservatory and just enjoyed our family time together. Thanks to Mark and Jen for inviting our family to share in your very special day. May God richly bless your life together. We were so glad to share in it with you.

Summer fun pictures

Sophia and Isaac loving their ice cream...please make special note of the wonderful care and concern Sophia has for Isaac...already a little mother! She definitely watches out for him and takes good care of him. He is spoiled by all three of his sisters and I know he already thinks he is a little prince!:)

Fun with Nana at Chuck E. Cheese

When the kids and I were in Michigan that first week after school was out, Nana took us to Chuck E. Cheese for Gracie's birthday. All of the kids LOVED it! Thanks for a fun and memorable time Nanny! We love you!

More fun at the cottage...

The week after school was out, I took the kids up to the cottage. Many more memories were made. We had lunch at the dam, swam, roasted marshmallows and just enjoyed one another's company.

Gracie turns 7!

Our Gracie Girl turned seven this past June 2. Crazy to think that our little girl is becoming a little lady! It seems like yesterday we just brought her home from the hospital in Baltimore. It has been fun to watch her grow and change. Gracie, we are so proud of you...continue to be a light for others! We love you so much, Mom and Dad

Memorial Day at the Cottage

We traveled to the cottage for Memorial Day. It was a beautiful weekend and everyone traveled well. It was great to spend time with everyone and the weather couldn't have been better! Isaac and Sophia would lounge on the porch. Isaac thought he could drive the boat. Grace and Sophia had a blast swimming and boating with their cousins Ben, Sam and Will. And Sophia and Isaac discovered the beauty of Lake Avalon! Thanks for the memories!
