Quick Emme Visit '13

Acacia spent a few weeks on the east coast with Emme and Nono this summer.  They spend a week at the Berg's house and then another couple weeks in NC.  Auntie Valerie took them to see Oklahoma and Nono let them drive around on golf carts!!  Emme flew home to Madison with Acacia and spent a few days doing whatever the kids wanted to do.  This included mini golf, bowling, MANY board games, movies, shopping and more.  Since I spent most of this time working I have no proof that they did any of this stuff!  But, they said they did and they were all smiling a lot!!  Thanks for a great visit Emme!!  We love you!!

Faglioni's Visit '13

Aunt Kelly had some work to do here in the Madison area so she brought Tyler and Mitchell up to chill with Chris!
 
 
We went to the Farmers Market for fresh sweet corn and that evening went to see a local baseball game - The Madison Mallards.

 
Tyler has far surpassed his Mom ... vertically anyway.

 
And Mitchell creeps closer and closer.  Now, at age 8 it will not be long before his feet are bigger than his Mom's too!

Grandma Wheeler Memorial Service '13

June 14, 2012 my Grandma Wheeler passed away.  We celebrated her LONG life this first week end in August 2013.  For me, this was much more sweet than bitter.  The bulk of my grieving had passed over the past year.  This time allowed me to remember the great times I had with my grandparents and also meet so many new members of my family.  I met a couple cousins, their spouses and kids.  I had a great time and I know that both Grandma and Grandpa were looking down and smiling and laughing with us all.
 
 
 
 
I thought I tried to take a full family photo of everyone.  But I somehow managed to not take any of my parents or the Bergs!!  But at least I have this awesome group shot of everyone!
