4th of July "Ketchup"

Hello everyone! I've missed you :)

Hello everyone and Happy 4th of July!! It's been a little while since I've written so wanted to catch you all up on the Team Anders happenings. We've been having so much fun with all our recent visitors that I haven't had much time to write.

The week after Jeffy Pants' visit Jace's cousin Charlie and his friend Brian Jones came to visit. They all headed to Cincinnati to watch the Twins play the Reds. Easton and I held it down in the Creek and did our thing with Rae.

Jace, Charlie and Jonesy

Chuck and Jonesy left on Sunday and we knocked out a loooong week of work while anxiously awaiting our next set of visitors on Friday -- Welcome, Team Sandness!!

Pete, Polly, Maren and Tyler were here to enjoy the heat with us and we had such a great time :) It was so much fun to watch the kids play together. Maren was such a good babysitter and Tyler taught Easton how to play with cars and trucks. We had a home-cooked meal on Friday night, visited the Fairborn splash pad and base pool on Saturday, had a wonderful adults-only dinner that night at Fleming's @ The Greene and then visited Young's Dairy on Sunday. Jace and I had to go back to work on Monday but were able to get home a little early to catch back up with everyone for some sprinkler time at home on Monday afternoon.

This was the first time we've had all seven of us together and it was SO MUCH FUN! As expected I took more than 100 pictures so here are a few of the highlights and the rest can be viewed HERE if you'd like to check them out :)

Catching up on the latest installment of Yo Gabba Gabba!

So that's a quick look at what's been going on here over the past few weeks. Jace left for Colorado today for Andy Berg's wedding and gets home on Saturday just as my Mom arrives for a few weeks. Then it's off to Boston for Pete & Crystal's wedding -- CANNOT wait to see all our friends and watch these two finally become The Fosters!

Well I hear Easton waking up from his morning nap and Nate Berkus is gracing my TV screen so I must sign off. Wishing you all a safe and happy 4th of July!!
