Intervention

Four infections, six doses of oral antibiotics, & six shots of antibiotics within 9 months has resulted in surgical intervention for our little girl. Molly had tubes put in her ears on Thursday and is doing wonderfully. We are so blessed by everyone's support and prayers!

Results in Rest, Relaxation, and Rejuvenation

Entirely Alec

Alec kicked off a weekend made for a twelve year old boy at the Homestead squirt gun forts with some of his buddies. Then on Saturday, Mike and Alec ventured to the Dayton Air Show and got home just in time to hit the sack so he would be rested for a day at Cedar Point. Along with 11 of his cousins, Alec conquered 'America's Roller Coast'!

He's wrapping things up at Zoombezi Bay Water Park today with another group of his cousins just in time to pack the car and head out on our family vacation tomorrow morning. Hopefully the rest of his vacation is as exciting as the beginning has been!

Wonder-full

What a wonderful weekend to celebrate Independence Day! We started the celebration with our annual evening at the Dublin Fireworks and ended the weekend playing in the pool. Who could ask for anything more?

Whew

After a weekend of adventures, playing and looking good, everyone needed some downtime.

Irresistible

Even though the clock read

we couldn't resist letting the kids stay up.

Fun with Friends

There are many things I love about summer break; sleeping in, staying up late, not ironing clothes, and naps are just a few. One of my most favorite things about summer is being able to spend time with friends without any time constraints and I'm thinking that Molly likes it, too!

And who wouldn't love this bunch?
