First Day of School

Can you believe it is the beginning of another year. Jacob is starting 6th grade and Caroline is in PK-4. They both have amazing teachers again this year (and a pretty handsome principal!!) We took a moment to pose for the traditional first day of school pictures.

Baptism Weekend

This past weekend was Samantha's Baptism. So many of our family were able to make it and we were so thankful. What an amazing weekend we had. Of course it was also the hottest weekend of the year so far. We started Friday night with a pool party at our friends the Schmand's. The kids had a great time and I think the adults enjoyed it as well.
