Made a trip to Oakland

Last weekend we went to visit the newlyweds.

This was G&G Lainio's first visit.

We were all so excited to go.

Couldn't have too much hugging!

We walked the yard and Grandpa Bud got right to work picking up sticks. We never did get to have a fire. Hum. Maybe next time.

Four Men on a couch??

There was a basketball tournament Sat night. It was so fun to meet folks from the area. I'm sorry I didn't get pictures. Grandpa Bud really enjoyed the games.

Afterwards we played some cards. The Hemmers taught us this game the last time they visited. It's called "Scum". I don't know where they find all these games, but we are glad they share them with us. I think that Grandma was the King in this game more than anyone else!

No the game doesn't involved spying. I'm not sure what Matthew's up to here.


Haley brought down her wedding gift for Kyle and Gretchen. She's been working on it for months. She could only work on it when Gretchen was gone so it didn't quite get finished before the wedding.

It's a beautiful summer weight afghan in their colors.

Can I say again how blessed we are to have a wonderful family. We had three generations together loving and enjoying one another. We humbly thank the Lord for His grace and mercy in our lives.
