I guess it's been a few months since I've posted anything so, here goes. We've had a pretty great summer so far. We spent a weekwith the Schultz side of the family again this year in the Outer Banks, NC and had a great time visiting with everyone. Every year we get together is exciting because the kids are at different stages and it is fun to see them interact with each other, and play in the pool and at the beach. I put some (actually quite a few) pictures up in the gallery of our trip if you are interested. They are all courtesy of my sister Ruth, and her awesome camera, so Thanks Ruth! Click Here to see them. The rest of our summer is going to be fairly quiet, but we do have a gulf trip and a short trip to Chicago planned which should be pretty fun.

 Well we moved in to our new house and things are going pretty good. It is definitely nice to have a private yard. We put in a nice privacy fence and got some of the necessary accessories such as a grill and some patio furniture to complement it so we are using them every chance we get. Oh yeah, we live near the zoo and you can walk down our street and see elephants and giraffes sometimes.

Charlie is doing great. He is thinking about crawling and it has been fun watching him experimenting to see what all he can do. I finally have put up some new pictures so check them out if you have time. Also drop us a note to let us know how you are doing, and let us know if you are in the neighborhood!
