END TO A GOOD SUMMER!

Well I must say that this has been a very busy summer. We have had lots of visitors, made lots of trips and created tons of memories. I am just sad that it went so fast. As we get ready to send the kids to school and wrap up the summer, I wanted to capture some pictures of Madie and Max. Enjoy! Check back again soon for the kids off to school pictures.

2009 Zoeller FBC Meeting/Picnic

This past weekend we travelled back to Louisville for the annual Zoeller Family Business Council meeting. The weekend was full of meetings and a picnic on Saturday evening. It was a quick weekend but we enjoyed seeing family.

Canoeing at Chain O' Lakes on Memorial Day

We decided to go canoeing today with the kids. Chris had heard about a place not too far a way from home that had great canoeing. The park was called Chain O' Lakes. There are 7 different lakes connected by channels. We canoed to 4 of the seven. We originally thought that it would be fun to do it by paddle boat. Ha, Ha. Our legs were on fire before we even made it out of the first lake. So, needless to say we traded our paddle boat in for a canoe. It proved to be an excellent decision. The kids both took turns paddling and did a great job. We saw lots of wildlife including turtles, fish, ducks wit babies, dragon flies, a blue heron, birds and tons of lilly pads.

After that adventure it is time for a nap! Happy Memorial Day!

Fort Wayne randomness

It has been a while since I have posted so I thought that I would post some random pictures of different things that we have been doing here in Fort Wayne.

Louisville

Well we decided to make a trip to Louisville for Mother's Day weekend to suprise my mom. Mission accomplished! She had no idea that we were coming and she was presently suprised to tears. Which, I do not see very often. We had a fun time staying with Chris' grandma and visiting with friends. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed the warmth.

Easter

Well Easter this year was a little different than ones in the past. We spent Easter in Fort Wayne for the first time. After several weeks of traveling we decided that the 8 hour drive was more than what we wanted to endure.

We have friends here in Fort Wayne that were nice enough to invite us to be a part of their families Easter festivities. My friend Amber and her husband Keith invited us to their parents home to share the holiday.

We hope that you all had a happy Easter. We wish that we could have seen you and celebrate the joy that only Easter can bring.
