6 Months Old- Little Man

Our little man turned 6 months old yesterday- WOW!

The little one is keeping busy.....trying out solids, grabbing his toes, rolling over (though he is a back boy- loves his back), sitting up (tripod style), getting his first teeth (yes- we have two on the bottom), playing with his little buddies from church, and laughing and smiling a lot!!!
He is still growing like a champ. Dr. G weighed him in at 18.11 lbs and measured him at 28 inches long (75-97 percentile). He is such a joy....it is hard to remember what life was like without him.

Camp Ozark 60th Reunion

This past weekend was a blast to the past as we loaded up bedding, towels, bathing suits, Caddo/Osage t-shirts, costumes, and drove through Oklahoma and Arkansas to attend Incomparable Camp Ozark's 60th reunion! Incomparable is a very good description of this one of a kind place. A summer at Camp Ozark is full of fun, sun, and people who love Christ that are dedicated to teaching and loving kids of all ages and backgrounds. Camp Ozark is where Jeff and I first met back in '99 and where Jeff worked for 10 years and I worked for 6 summers; so this place is very near and dear to our hearts.

Here is a picture of our friends and the owners of camp, Sam and Susan Torn. A good descritption and quote from Susan this weekend was, "Sam was born to run Camp Ozark"!
Susan and Anders- having a good time! Anders loved camp...there was so much fun and loving people there that he wasn't short of attention. I am excited for the time when Anders is older and can truely enjoy camp and the adventures it offers.
A visit to Camp Ozark wouldn't be complete without blobbing. This is where you jump off a tower onto a colorful sack full of air in hopes to shot the person who just blobbed in front of you 20 feet into the sky. Even my nephew Larson (4 1/2 years old) got in on the fun. Way to go Larson!

Perrysburg, Ohio

Last week we meet my parents at my brother's place in Perrysburg, OH. We had a fun time catching up as a family, grilling, playing games, bike riding, and spending as much time outside as possible (it was 70/80 degrees- beautiful). It was so nice to see where Preston lives, works, and meet the love of his life, April. Here is a great picture of Preston and April and one of their two dogs.

We were able to fly to Ohio on Southwest (thank you Ryan and Karin). Here is Anders on his second plane ride ever...sleeping like a champ!
Perrysburg is a suberb of Toledo...so the trip wouldn't have been complete without this picture taken by Jeff, who is a Mud Hen fan.
