I feel as though I am an ostrich pulling my head out of the sand, I have lost contact with folks this summer. Some days I just wonder what happened. The past few weeks in particular. Do not get me wrong the weeks have been lots of fun. We had guests of Fred stay with us for a night. Then our friends the Whites came and stayed with us a few days later. Above is a picture of Jessika being attacked in a loving embrace by Mick and Liam.


Then the same day they left my family came to visit for the 4th of July. Here is Ana with her cousins, Emma and Zoey as well as Aunt

Chris. After the fam left we headed to Chicago to visit with Jeff's sister and a recent grad from Kenyon. As soon as we returned it became busy with summer conferences. It was wonderful to spend time with all these folks. I am blessed to have all these people in my life.

Ana is learning some new things. She enjoys pulling hair, sitting up, rolling from a sitting position, peek-a-boo, patty cake, and vocalizing, especially with the "ddd" sound.
