Jo Jo came to visit...

Last week, our Sweet Jo Jo came to visit us. We had lots of fun shopping and going to movies while she was here. The kids enjoyed getting to spend some time with her. Thank you for coming to see us!

Kindermusik

This summer we have been taking Kindermusik classes at the Rec center by our house.

The theme this summer has been the beach/ocean.

The kids love the music and the friends they have made.

Today our friends, Carol and Jack, took this cute picture of the kids in their beach hats. :) Thanks, Carol!
