Daddy, this one's for you!

What sweet little cousins!

Hi Daddy,
We missed you this weekend! Ms. Stephanie and Mr. Zach were married on Saturday and Kate was the flower girl and Cyrus was the ring bearer/flower smasher! They had a lot of fun and did a great job walking down the aisle before the beautiful bride, Stephanie. Stephanie and Zach, thank you so much for the honor of having Kate be your flower girl! Here are some pictures...

Beautiful sisters I used to babysit!

Lazy days of summer -- I could get use to this.

Mr. & Mrs. Gordon thanks for the boat ride!

I liked the boat ride with Mom

I had fun with Dad on the jetski!

We had a great weekend last week. Grandpa and Grandma Cole came up from Indy to help us "officially" finish our basement. Grandpa and Dad worked hard all day on Saturday to finish up the closet, cable, and carpet. Grandma helped Mom fix dinner for the men's soccer team who were coming over the next day. We had a great time with our family and thank them both SO MUCH for all their help and work to get our basement finished! Thank you both! On Sunday we were invited over to Prof. Gordon's house for dinner, boat ride, and jetski rides. We had a wonderful time at their house. Kate loved playing in the water and taking Mom and Dad for a jetski ride on Winona Lake. Thanks to Bill and Carole for their hospitality and friendship, we had a great time being at your home! It felt like a day vacation...good to have!

After the party, Kate kept saying, "Mommy, Cinderella

was so fancy!"

Kate & Kinley took Mom to Norah's 3rd birthday party (Mommy's college roommate Alyssa's daughter) in Anderson this past week. Kate LOVED meeting Cinderella and having a chance to talk with her! Kate enjoyed getting to see Cinderella in real life since she has watched her movie so much! It was great to visit with Alyssa and to be a part of Norah's special day. Thank you for inviting us to the Cinderella party!
We have been busy at home this summer and preparing for the upcoming school year and Church softball tournament Labor Day Weekend. We pray for a wonderful time in Virginia with our family and for the mission work in Paraguay!
