Midsummer escape

What fun!  A quick trip to the Roskamp Farm for their Hog roast was just what the doctor ordered.  He even ordered some somewhat temperate weather ... though I could have done without the humidity.  I'm just saying ...  :-)  I got to see the WHOLE Roskamp clan which is always fun.  I even got to meet two great women who married into the Roskamp Clan (via the Verbrugees):  Andrea and Susan.  These two gals are firecrackers and lots of fun to hang with!  Hope to see them again sometime.

Here's just a few of the pictures I took over the weekend.
Anyone hungry?
Yeah.  That's a whole lot of hog ...
... and a whole lot of cupcakes ...
... for a whole lot of people!!!
Proof that I really was there!

And what's a trip to the mid-west without an evening stroll through a corn field!!!

It's gettin' better

Just 5 days out of hospital little R is doing well.  Weight is almost all back, eating is back to normal and she's active and happy.

The whole gang was here today.  Our first full day of summer included ...


sandbox fun ...

Rinsing off the sand by running through the sprinkler ...


hanging out watching the boys ...


and making sure Mom knows they love her!
