Emily Rose

Today is Emily's birthday and we wish her a happy day and coming year. A lot has changed for her since we celebrated this occasion the first time. We have loved watching her grow into from a baby to a child, a teenager, a young wife, and now a mother with the addition of little Ben to her family. We love you Rosie!

Three Days

Our Labor Day weekend was full of good times with the family. Saturday a lot of us went to see the Bees play and win their baseball game courtesy of a friend of Emily and Adam's. Not only were our tickets free (great seats, too!), but he gave us vouchers for free food as well. I had not been to see the Bees play since I was a child so it was a lot of fun. The weather was perfect and the game was followed by a spectacular fireworks show.

Sunday was little Ben's blessing day, with a wonderful brunch following the meeting. It is such a wonderful thing to have these little children join our family. Monday we had a barbecue at my parents' home. The crowd was a little smaller this year, but still the food and the company were great.
