Brian and Amanda's Wedding

Amy’s Bro Brian married his fiancĂ© Amanda this week end. They got hitched at Owens’s Mill, a cute collection of turn of the century buildings and farm. It had the atmospheres of “Little House on the Prairie”. Out door weddings are risky, especially in a Michigan Fall, but every thing went perfect, including the weather. We are soooo happy for them.

There are three groups of pictures, first the rehearsal dinner, the wedding day and then some after brunch at the hotel on Sunday. The whole weekend was enjoyable.

The Happy couple.











What can I say…. I like cats.

Flower girls are cute.

First Day of School

Another year, another school. The kids are off for another school year. I am very glad to see, they are excited.

Hailey Cheerleading

After moving in, Hailey entered a little girl's cheer leading clinic with the big high school girls. At the end of the clinic, she got to cheer for the first half of the football game. The weather was perfect, and it made for a nice evening.





The Ox Roast

This year Nolan, Nathan and I pulled at the Lawrence Ox Roast. We dominated and took first second and third. Nathan got top ranking this year. I think he might be in trouble when George is in better health next year.




I am thinking of starting a new career.

The Return of Sam

Now that we are back in a house. Erik and Erin returned the fifth member of our family. Sam is a 5 year old tom cat with attitude (and a weight problem). But we love him none the less.




New House!!!!

Finally we get a house!!!! We are ready to settle down for awhile. We spent the morning closing, and then in the afternoon we went over for a swim. The following weekend Granma Sharon and Grandpa Clair visited for a cook out. I think we are going to like pool ownership.

I think Hailey is at home here!!
