Sunset Over Oneida Lake

 Sunset over Oneida Lake from Verona Beach State Park

A New 9 Year Old

 I will say again as I do every year....I can't believe my baby is...............(add any number)

 9 years old. 

 We gathered at Grandma and Grandpa Hesler's house to enjoy the festivities.

 It took a few blows to get out all the candles.

 My bookend girls...

Pat, Danny and Grace 

All the kids that are in this state made it to Kim's party.

 Luke and Laura (Luke's 9 years old also....the Irish twin pictures will be coming soon!)

 Mark's a goof!

 Yummy, yummy "gooey stuff".  That is the actual name on the hand written recipe we have.

 Kim's favorite

 Grandma, Grandpa and the birthday girl.

 We finished out the day watching the sunset over Oneida Lake.

We also took tons of photos.

 Kimberly and her Daddy--and doggie.

Fun on the Lake

 We were so happy to see our beautiful daughter in law today.  She is visiting from Georgia while Matt was in California.  I was also happy to be able to finally give her her birthday afghan.  Hopefully she can squeeze it into her suitcase on her flight back home.

Now on to a very, very heavy photo post of the kids enjoying themselves at Oneida Lake this afternoon.

It was a great way to bring an end to summer.....in fact, tonight the temperatures are supposed to be in the 40's around here.
