Surprise!

In honor of the brother/sister bond, Daniel and I did a fun thing back in May. You'll have to check it out. It was fun to surprise Mom and Dad for their 37th wedding anniversary! Shannon, the book of pictures was a TOTAL hit with the parentals. Thank you, thank you for helping us celebrate mom and dad's milestone. They were absolutely thrilled. I think they're fighting now over who gets to take the book to the office first :-)



Last night, my Aunt Judy, Uncle Scott and cousins Sarah and Anna were in town and we all gathered at Casa Whitaker for some burgers, ice cream and fun. We don't get to see them often (they live WAY up in the panhandle), so it was especially sweet to have them here. Instead of the standard "let's sit on the couch" pose, we opted for the playscape out back, just as the sun was going down. Notice how everyone is looking at the camera? I'm setting the timer from now on with the kids. It works everytime!!




Oh, and in case you're wondering what my brother will look like in 30 years with glasses? Wonder no more.
