The last couple weeks of summer we had the chance to be with my sisters and kids two times! Oh joy. I absolutely
adore my nieces and nephews. Every single one of them is such a treasure to me, so to see them all together, the goodness is multiplied! The kids feel the same way I do about them; love, love, love.

| Picnic at Grundy County Lake! |
 |
| Meeting my newest niece, Julia, for the first time. She is darling as can be. |
 |
| The kids played and played and played. Good, old fashioned, fun! |
 |

| Cutie-patooties ready for a bike ride! |
 |
| Nana and Papa relaxing and watching all the little people that came from them. Amazing! |
 |
| Beautiful evening. |

| There they are! All 11 of them! |
 |
| New baby sweetness. Love. |
Labor Day weekend we had the chance to rendezvous again! Mark and Erica were in the Des Moines area, and if they are only two hours away, we must see them! We overnighted at a hotel with a fun water park. It was a blast!!
 |
| Charlie was certain he was Captain of the ship. He would sit there and direct traffic, until he decided it was his turn. Then, he stepped right in front of everyone and down he came. Okay, Mr. Boss. |
 |
| Here comes Charlie and Daddy! |
 |
| The triplets! |
 |
| Goodness. This is cute. |
 |
| What do ya know...Dallas is chaperone in the hot tub. |

| We celebrated Charlie's 2nd birthday at the hotel. Tractor cake and a happy little boy! |
What sweet memories the kids are making. They are so blessed to have each other!
