The Sunday crew. Every Sunday we get together for lunch and dinner with this group. It's so much fun and I wouldn't trade it for the world! The 2nd pic is what we really look like... yikes

Look how they've grown

Birthday Bowling

I love bowling. Scratch that... I love bowling when I do well! Yes, I know I am very competitive.
It IS about winning and NOT about having fun.

Happy Birthday to me!

me and my baby.... and Justin
Daniel must have gotten a spare & not a strike this time.. sniff, sniff
This looks like the view that someone would see sitting across from him at a speed-dating event... HA!
Rachel - she looks soooo thrilled to be bowling

The girls took a turn driving

We took a trip up to see Mark & Amy and Jarrod & Sarah in Winston-Salem, NC. We left on Thursday night at - we were on the highway by - 8:48pm. We arrived 5 1/2 laters at 2:30 am. Yikes! We stayed through Sunday morning and headed to Jeremy and Leslie Tufts' for Sunday til Monday around afternoon.

The weather was nice and the trip was great. Amy cooked us wonderful meals the whole time, and we also went to J&S's for dinner on Saturday. There were 8 kids running around (well, one couldn't quite run yet, he's only 9 months). It was a crazy night but by 8 or 9pm most of the kids were asleep. The adults went downstairs to watch Blades of Glory - HILARIOUS!

We got home on Monday at about 2pm and we all slept until 5:30pm. Yeah, were a bit tired!
