Catch up!

 Sorry for no posts lately. Life has been busy and and I really haven't stopped to take time to blog! So I'll do a quick post to catch up....=)

•  We recently went to Papa's house for his 89th birthday. I will hopefully do a post about that soon. On Sunday while we were there I stayed home from church to find a bunch of pictures of Papa so I could scan them at home. I love, love, love going through those dresses at his house and founding old pictures. This time my favorite treasure to bring home was 2 really old news papers dated in 1945!! The Headlines on one of the papers said, "HITLER DEAD" and another one said, "FDR dies." That was Franklin Roosevelt. Anyways, yesterday I sat down a actually looked at them. It was so cool to read. Everything was about WWII and it was really cool. I could almost picture myself back in that time. 
• On Sunday a few of us went down to Grandma and Grandpa's house to see Aunt Marlene and the girls. It was fun. Nikki and I sat out on Grandma's front step and looked at pictures from Florida. :)
• Do you want to know what I'm doing a lot of lately? Scanning pictures of Papa onto our computer. It is actually really fun. I love seeing pictures and so this was a good job for me. Here is one of my favorite pictures from when he was young. It isn't my favorite though. There is one that is my most favorite picture of him ever...but....I couldn't find it when we went to Papa's last so next time I will look really hard for it. 

This was when he was in the war. He is in the Middle.
Don't even ask me who those other 2 dudes are....

• Karin and the boys drove from Florida with Jamie and Corine to com visit us! It was really fun to see them. On Friday we got to babysit them while Karin did something else and it was so much fun to have them. I dressed them up like cowboys and took some pictures. :) 

I edited them so they look old but when I look a that picture of Papa, I can see that
they really don't look all that old! ;)

• Today I went shopping and found some more summer clothes so I'm happy. 
• I am vowing to read more books this summer. Maybe if I do I'll tell you about them all at the end of summer. Oh man...I don't want to think about fall already!
• Well, I have work to do. Stay tuned for more! :)
