Indiana Summer

Logan got a pool for his birthday, which has blessed the lives of many.  

Finn's siblings want to be sure he never gets bored.

Joss and her BFF Lauren hang in the kitchen after making cookies. 

We found a park near our house that we like.

The kids especially love these flying saucer swings.

Not sure what this face is for.  But Tristan was good at climbing the ropes like a monkey.

We went to Sari's wedding at the end of June!  Here the brother-in-laws chat while on baby duty.

Aaaawww, sisters.  Love this sister.  Isn't she a beautiful bride?

Beautiful cousins.

Dad and Tona look like they're about to be beamed up to heaven, with all the radiance around them.  Such good-looking siblings!

Rene and Chloe talking bout something interesting.

Mom and Dad, marrying off their last daughter.  This is a look of joy.  And relief.  LOL

Sari, commandeering the camera while the photographer steps aside.

Happy Finn

The Cousins Picnic, with the Jones kids, the Bortis kids, and the Boyce kid.  A great group.

The long flight home.  The kids were all great.

I found this on my photo stream.  Apparently one of my children thinks he/she is the next Anne Geddes.

Dad's job when he gets home from work is to hold Finn while I get dinner on the table.  Sometimes he can multi-task.

Dane still hasn't learned how to squint, and instead shuts one eye.  So I guess he's going to have great sight in one eye and sun damage in the other.

Chloe Cutie

The boys on a nature walk.

Back to the park!

Dad likes the park.

Chloe's weird selfie.

Dane turned 3 today!  He got to go to nursery at church (one of his favorite activities), and then we went to dinner at a friend's house.  He got to go out for ice-cream with Dad and to the park yesterday with the family to round out the fun.

Our new (well, very slightly used) van, Iron Man!  You can probably guess who named it.  We love our new 8-seater, where we all have a seat belt!  I like how the van tells me when I'm about to run into someone in my blindspot and reminds me of the speed limit when I'm driving too efficiently.  And then all the kids chorus, "Mom!!"
