Uncle Teddy working hard on the dock! THANKS SO MUCH!

Wow we are having such a fun summer. Nate finished school two weeks ago and we hit the road the next day for Grandma Poe's house. We stayed there for a long weekend. The kids had so much fun in the pool and finding worms. Mom and Aunt Ali got to spend a night out on the town.

Carl got back last Thursday and got right to work building a dock, we didn't see him all weekend but Aunt Caren, Carlie and Grayson came over for sleepover. Nate and Carlie had a blast! Mom and Aunt Caren were in charge of cold beer and water which was just fine dock building looks like really hard work! On Sunday Uncle Teddy came down to help with the dock and it is really coming along! We can't wait to have everyone over again!

Here are some pics. This weekend we are headed to Florida for the Janicki Beach weekend YEAH!

Summer is HERE!

Wow is it hot hot hot. I have finally been able to set up my computers and download my pictures. Time to get the blog back in action. Carl is gone in Indy this month what started as a training exercise has now turned into rescue and humanitarian missions for some of the marines. The are helping with the floods and evacuating residents. Stay safe Dad.

We are doing well here. WE have had a few weird things happen but nothing is normal when Carl is gone so other than the flu, a stomach virus and Nate's crazy allergic reaction at the beach ( to his bathing suit lining), I think we are doing well.

We all miss dad but Caitlin poor Caitlin. Everytime we are on base and she sees a marine in cammies she screams DADDY DADDY! She is so upset when they turn out to not be dad just someone dressed just like him. It really breaks my heart I hope she figures it out soon! When she wakes in the morning she screams Dad Dad! Nate walks into her room this morning and says " Caitlin would you stop calling me Dad , he's not here!"

Aunt Ali came to visit last weekend we had a blast at the beach and the pool!
