Life Lately

I cannot believe it has been over a month since I have posted on what has been going on around here. We have been very busy. Cam has been extremely busy with work and college. Jar and I have been super busy with organizing the house and yard work. Michael has been very busy at work and at home...with lots of summer projects. He was also gone for a week to Florida for his mom's 70th birthday.

Here are some photos of what has been happening around here:
