OK, I Hear You

I've been told I need to update this thing more frequently.  I'm humbled many of you find my boring life and random musings so interesting.  When I responded to a friend that I don't have a lot of interesting things going on, and very little time to blog about the mundane, her response was simple--short and boring is fine!  And more pictures would be good.  So, for all my Facebook-averse, blog-following friends, this is for you!  I will try to update this more frequently.

I can't believe it's August.  We escaped St. Louis' oppressive heat for a week to enjoy Lake Michigan.  This was a special week-we invited my parents and we spent the week with them and Mike's mom.  Abby was surrounded by her grandparents (us) and three great-parents.  Here's a picture of her on the beach:

A real highlight of the week was spending some quality time with good friends.  Here's a picture of us with our friends of longstanding duration (see, I didn't say "old"), Tim and Jeanne:

Good friends, good times.  I love summer.  Hope you all are grabbing some good times and making some memories on your end.  More soon, I promise.
