Anybody still out there?

Yes, we're alive! Our apologies for not posting much lately. It's been a busy few weeks! Back in May we took a quick trip up to Wisconsin for Joel's brother Ben's graduation from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary and 'call day' where he and Janna and the kids found out where their new home would be. It turned out to be... Florida! Craziness! We also got to spend time with my family up in Oshkosh, but of course we never fit in all that we would like to. Then this past weekend we drove down to Fort Myers for Ben's installation. Throw in frisbee league games every Friday night for me and the typical chasing after a 15-month old, and what do you get.... ok, probably plenty of time to slip a blog post in there. Sorry! :)

We offer some pictures of this really cute baby (toddler?!) that lives with us as a peace offering...

Lydia thinks it's hilarious to try to grab the camera every time I want to take her picture. I don't find it quite as funny.

Playing in Grandma and Grandpa Zak's lovely spring yard.

The elusive family picture whilst dressed up.

Going for a wagon ride with my cousins!

The party balloons were so fun! And I only tripped a few times!

You weren't using that, right Jack?
(yes, we are working on 'sharing' and not taking things from other people - it's not sinking in very quickly)

Lydia - thrilled to have a 'doggie' to play with
Chance - very tolerant and constantly giving me the 'can you take her back now?' look

Getting to know Great-grandma Schroeder

Down in Fort Myers having lots of fun with Willow and Clyde!

Hope you all have been well! We'll try to post again sooner than Labor Day :)
