I’ve just uploaded a bunch of new pictures… the first set are from the recent visit from Philip, Carol and family at the end of July.

The second set is from this past weekend when we went with Dave, Julie and family to Pennsylvania to visit Idlewild and the Pittsburgh Zoo.

I also put pictures in Jenna and Jillian’s albums.

Holy cow, sorry for the lack of updates!

The summer has scooted right along without us knowing it. Last month we had a great visit with Philip, Carol and the kids as they made the trek to the great white north of Ohio. We made trips to the Science Museum, the Zoo and Philip and I took in the Rock Hall one evening. The boys got to experience a basement for the first time and had a ball camping out down stairs… maybe next time we can introduce them to snow! We are hoping they are able to make the trip again soon.

Jill continues to grow like a weed, she now has two teeth that have poked through her lower gum line. It’s hard to believe that she is already 5 months old! She seems to be always smiling and talking… once she learns words, look out!

Jenna is looking forward to returning to school in a few weeks and continues to develop in to a young lady. The other night Jenna was sitting at the dinner table and randomly started quoting Yoda… I started laughing when I realized what she was doing and considering she hasn’t seen the movie it made me laugh even harder as she was quoting a Yoda statue I have on my office desk down stairs that works like a Magic Eight Ball. Jenna loves to talk to, play with and read to Jill and Jill eats it up with big smiles and laughs…. they are going to be a pair when they get older.

Rose is starting to gear up to head back to the working world… It’s going to be quite a transition adding Jill in to the mix of our daily routine, but Rose and I are starting to plan it out so it is hopefully a little less hectic.

My work is still going well, and they have officially hired my new boss. School is going well, and I finished my summer class with what I think was flying colors. My fall class won’t start until October so I have a little break before I get going again. A few more classes at Tri-C then I’ll be off to Akron to finish up.
