Even More Summer Fun

Summer is so great.  This one has been especially fun!  We've had so much fun time with family and friends.  I can't believe an entire year has passed since we left Newburyport.  Here are a few more pics.

Another beautiful summer day on the lake!

I've been cruising around on my bike a lot.  Especially since Stephen got me an awesome basket for it for my birthday.

In July there is a huge sail boat race from the Blue Water Bridge to the Mackinac Bridge.  The night before the race there is a giant party downtown.  Shelby and her friend Angela were there visiting Shelby's college roommate.  

Here are some of the sailboats getting ready for the race.  

Wedding Time

On Saturday we went to a wedding for two of the people on our softball team.  It was a great night!  It's fun to see everyone out of their softball uniforms and all dressed up.  

Sarah and Kate.

New House!

We helped Dan and Kim move a few weeks ago.  Here are some pics.

Packing up the old house.

The kids playing around the mulberry tree in their new yard.

Uncle Stephen keeping the kids occupied, or is it the other way around?

This is a trip to the E.R. waiting to happen!

Congrats guys!  Can't wait to come and visit!

Shelby and Caleb

Shelby and Caleb came to visit a few weeks ago.  They are teachers so they don't have to do anything alllllll summer.  Must be nice :-)

More Fun Stuff

Here are some more pictures from our "summer".  Right now it's overcast and 64 degrees.  Awesome.  

Since the Pier 1 I worked at went out of business last week my quality of life has improved greatly!  I've been able to pic up three freelance photo jobs in the last two days, I have free time, and I'm actually going to start my own photography business.  There will be a new website and blog coming soon!  

Fresh herbs on our roof!  Yum.

The dynamic softball duo: Taitor Tot

Here is our entire softball team.  We are having a great time playing with all our new friends in PH.  The playoffs start next week and we actually have a pretty good shot of winning the losers bracket, so we've got that going for us.

Me and some of my Pier 1 coworkers celebrating the end!

I love this picture of Alden with all the beans in his shirt from Grammy's garden.  I'm actually going to cook them up tonight.  We got to go to farwell for the weekend for Stephen's Birthday.  It was great to hang out with everyone in Farwell/Mt. P for a change.  I can't wait to camp out at Camp Tait in a few weeks.    

Happy Birthday!!

I love you!  Even when you do weird stuff like this!  

Summer Fun

This summer really has not felt much like summer at all so far.  Stephen and I have been working like crazy, and the weather has been not very summer like.  We've managed to squeeze in some fun though.  

Sunday actually felt like summer.  Our friend Mike has a pontoon that he took us out on in the morning and afternoon before our softball game.  This is in the canal that connects the Black River and Lake Huron.  

This is on the St. Clair River heading toward the Blue Water Bridge.  

Stephen loves being in the sun.

Our friends Mike, Brooke and Kate. 

Here is one from the weekend before when Hank and Mary came to visit with Spencer and Lucas.  Even though it was kind of chilly we went to the beach for a few hours.  The boys were even brave enough to get in the water.
