The person I most admire

Yvonne Black Stark, my grandmother is the person I admire most. She is the strongest, most gracious, loving, intelligent person I know and I would like to be more like her.

I love you grandma! Meggin loves you too, grandma great!

Lake Anna and more

In July, we were able to go on a family vacation. We went to Lake Anna, Virginia and enjoyed a lake house. The weather was fantastic, the company was fabulous (Laura, Colby and family) and the water was warm.

We were lucky to spend the 4th of July at the Lake and watch fireworks from the back yard. Here are the kids wearing some patriotic outfits!

Battles on the beach and hanging out by the lake. What a fun Vacation!

Fishing, more fishing, and more fishing (thanks daddy...uncle Dave). Rides in the canoe were very fun, Meggin loved the boat.

On the way home we visited Antietam, what an experience for all. There was a reenactment of the soldiers marching and firing their weapons.



Day trips to Mount Vernon and Fredricksburg, very good experience.
A dear friend, Christanne, and her kiddos were able to come and stay with us the last couple of days. It was a treat!


The Girls! Meggin and Annika were inseparable the entire week. Annika was great with Meggin, helping to keep her from getting into trouble and Meggin loved all the attention. Thanks Annika!

What a memorable trip!
