My sister Emily and my brother-in-law Jeff were home visiting from Oregon a couple weeks ago. We hadn't seen them since their wedding a year ago. We had a fun night at Founders and the Cottage Bar, and the kids got to spend Saturday morning with them. It was so good to see them. We miss them already! Hopefully they will make it home for Christmas this year.

One of our favorite things to do every summer is to go out to Milo and Abby's cottage. We went out in July this year, but you would've thought it was October. It was pretty cold, but the kids did get to go swimming on one of the days. It's so gorgeous out there and so relaxing. I wish we could've stayed all summer.

It was rare to see Owen without this truck the entire time we were there.

This was one of the highlights for Owen! Any sort of truck or piece of machinery and he's happy.
