Danielle's Soccer

We were so proud of Danielle and their team. They won the Charleswood cup and took 1st place for the division. Danielle did a great job playing goalie and not allowing any goals in. It was a great season for the girls.

Great Christian Concert weekend

We had a great time at the end of August in South Dakota watching christian rock bands and praising God. It was so awesome to see a bunch of youth praising God and listening to good christian music. We slept out in a corn field and poor Ter's allergies were really kicking up. By 1:00 am the music was still going and the youth were still having a great time. I am getting old and can't party like I used to. Also is marshmallows and hotdogs a good breakfast for the kids during camping?

Shan and Kenna visit Winnipeg

Shannon and Kenna came to visit for a week in August to Winnipeg. We really enjoyed their visit even though it was busy with VBS. I put them both immediately to work and was so pleased with their willingness. The Canadian family really enjoyed seeing the Virginia family and I loved it all. Kenna celebrated her 12th birthday with us while she was here. We even took Shan to a soccer game of Danielle's. Boy was she ever cold.

New York Fun

We really enjoyed seeing everyone in New York. The boating was a lot of fun and just being able to hang out and see the family was even better. The girls tried their hands at fishing. Danielle caught the most, even Ter caught some. We tried to eat them for dinner but they weren't that great. I loved the berry picking. I ate so many blueberries during picking that I wasn't feeling so well later on but it was really worth it to have fresh fruit. Kayla still wants to try making blueberry jam. We will see if that will ever work. She just wants to mash the fresh blueberries and make it into jelly.

Visit with Kolesars

We had a great visit with the Kolesars. It was nice to get to visit everyone and see how the kids had grown. I don't think that we saw Danielle or Kenna for the whole two days. They visited and talked late into the night. It was great.

Visit with Dougherty family

What fun we had with our close friends and old neighbors. It was great to see the kids get along so well again and be able to reconnect with everyone.
