In his previous entry, Ron included a picture of geocaching with Tony. Here is the whole clan. Debbie and Tony came to spend the day with us last weekend. It has been a long time since we've been together, but we always have such a good time when we are. Thanks for making the trip over guys!
And, here we are with my cousin Craig. He was on his way through to visit some friends in MN, but came a day early to do some riding with my dad and to meet Hope. We miss our family to the south! It meant so much that you came Craig. We love you!
Hope was invited to her first party...a 2nd birthday party for the other little Hope in our lives. We had a wonderful afternoon, but had to find creative ways to compromise when our little swiper decided to try out the newest birthday toy. It all worked out eventually. Sharing is so hard!
On this day, we headed up to Grandma & Grandpa's house to meet Hope's Great-Great Aunts, Vi & Liz. I don't know why we don't have any photos of them. I feel terrible about it. But we will remember this day and know that it was very special for Hope to spend the afternoon showing off for them.
Here she is with her Grandpa.
A couple of close-ups
Uncle Rick and Hope are having a few words here. What is Hope saying/thinking? Please leave comments to caption these photos!
We'll end this post with these two pics. Hope and Daddy got caught in the sudden storm - BUT, then thought it would be fun to run back and forth outside to play a bit. Our little girl loves the water!

Hope is just so beautiful - loooove the pic just after running through the rain with dad - that picture is priceless. All children should splash in puddles and lie on their backs in the grass deciding what the clouds look like! It's fun to stop by and visit your site!

Hey guys...
Wonderful pictures! Of course my favorites are the ones with Hope and Hope:) Thanks for including her on your blog. We had a great time on Sunday and I've been thinking about you guys all week, hoping everyone survived the busy but fun day. I head out for Georgia on Friday afternoon and won't be back until the 15th, so we'll get together when I get home.
Love you all!
