This is Tracy Ferber (Michele's sister-in-law). The family is down here for a visit before Mark (Michele's brother) is deployed to Afghanistan August 28,09.Caymen and Dawson enjoyed the pool with our kids Saturday evening.

Caymen eats a real dessert while Shoni licks Cheetos!

Delilah loves that little white dog Ranger- as you can see. Courtney and Buttons
Shoni and Delilah

She finally got the hang of fishing - after I took the hook off so it would not get caught AGAIN!

Fishing

Trying to find the best spot - don't know why he thinks Shoni will help?
Total frustration - at least for mom! I must have untangled more fishing line for Joe and Shoni then most fishermen do all their lives!

Maybe this will be a better place to fish.

Finally, success!!!!!!!!!!!! Dad surprised us and came the night before and this is the result. I will gladly leave the fishing experience to him from now on!

Camp Tatiyee - KJ in his cabin Billie Jo in hers.

Bethany Colby Counsellor at the camp.

A wonderful, caring person!

Our cabin in the pines. We had a great view of the lake and could hear the waterfall. Bliss!



Of course we had to bring dogs, fishing gear, baby equipment and highest on the list a pink car!

Check this out. This is the first time she has lain on her stomach and held her head up to watch Shoni playing! She stayed in this position for about 3 minutes!

It never ceases to amaze me how resilient children are when given the will to live.

Delilah decided to do some back-seat driving..........

but it was a hair-raising event!

Only Shoni and Dad would come up with towing a broken-down old car around the cul de sac.

It has reached 111 in the shade of the backyard and 116 out front! This is Joe's idea of beating the heat.
