Summer Days 2016

 After all the miles we put on in July, it was fun to be at home and have family come to us! Rob's brother and his family were here for a visit, so we spent some time at the lake together.  I really like this picture of D&M watching all the water activity.
 Our brave Australian sis-in-law was game for the paddleboard - even on the choppiest day! I guess it doesn't hold a candle to the Australian surf, but it was challenging in a different sort of way.
 Uncle Rob enjoying his littlest niece. :)

 We got to celebrate an anniversary for this lovely couple!

 And we ran a local 5K Race.  The little ones had a "Mini-Dash" race, so that was super-fun to watch! 
Lana and I ran the Diva Dash, and took a funny picture together at the end.  It was a fun day!
 My biggest fan! :)

 The greenhouse in its glory... I'm loving it! As of 10/22, it is still producing many small cucumbers and cherry tomatoes.  It is also now beginning to produce cilantro, kale, lettuce, and a few other little fall things.  So fun!  It feels really tropical on a sunny day.

 We were privileged to have Rob's whole family here for a day.  The three brothers...
 And this sweet couple! They have a baby now, not pictured (but very very cute!)
 So fun to have these four playing UNO Attack around the table again! :)
 A knitting lesson... maybe next time they visit we'll master it!
 We miss these guys!  It's a long ways to Australia.  So glad they came for a visit!
Lana made Evan's cake.  We are enjoying our two teenagers, and life keeps whizzing past us with more birthdays and stuff like that.  We have so much to be thankful for, and family is right up there at the top of the list!  I'm always thankful for summer, too.  We are sorry to see it leaving us, but we are looking forward to what fall and winter have in store!
