It's hard to believe but the summer has come and is very nearly gone. For us, life has been crazy since mid June all the way until now.

Let's see, it started with Mary's parents coming up to visit and going straight into Gretchen's Baptism. Here's what we've done thus far...

• Mary's Parents roll into town
• Gretchen's Baptism
• Graduation Party for Adam
• Graduation Party for Bobby
• Indians Game with a win against the Yankees and Fireworks
• 4th of July with Uncle Art and Aunt Helen
• Joshua, Ashley, Kaden and Jonathan get into town
• Day in the Flats and Tower City
• Family Pictures
• Mary's Birthday with Cake(s), Ice Cream and Fireworks
• Trip to Geauga Lake
• Trey's Football Practice starts

That's just some of the big stuff. I also had to replace the Automatic Garage Door Opener, I finally finished the fence, had to take my truck in for some big repairs and installed a new dishwasher.

If I would have been on top of things a story would have been written for each event. Unfortunately in my down time, I worked on upgrading the site and making some major changes to the site.

Though I haven't written as I would have liked to, the Photo Gallery is full of images from this past summer. All you need to do is go to the gallery and look around.
