It's HOT!!!!

First of all, we need to give a shout out to Emily...it's her birthday!! We celebrated by having ice cream at Captain Sundae, and it doesn't get much better than that! Tyler was a little reluctant to share his cone but he did it anyways.

We've been enjoying some warm weather here. My kids are still trying to figure out why they're so sticky! :) (almost 90 degrees and lots of humidity) Mia, Holly and I took Eric to the airport Tuesday and made a stop at Calvin College. Yes, they're both wearing long sleeves!!! Our flat friends whose parents went to Calvin posed for a picture (Jude, Simone, Emma and Libby) We would have taken a group photo there but we didn't want to step on any toes now! Everyone is having fun exploring around Grandpa and Grandma's house as well, catching grasshoppers, mowing the lawn, etc. Joey posed with the flat gang for a group photo (minus Emily...she was off celebrating her birthday, somewhere) at the beach tonight in front of Big Red. It felt good to cool off in the water. Never a dull moment around here...hope you're all having as much fun as we are!

Thanks for such a fun birthday! Extra thanks to Tyler for sharing his ice-cream cone with me! There's nothing like a good ice-cream cone on a hot and humid midwest day! I do not miss those sticky days! ;0)
