A Journal, with Pictures

Jen, Mike and Alexan­dra spent a week with friends at the cot­tage at the end of June. They vis­ited the Prado’s in Savan­nah and the beach. Then the rest of the fam­ily, absent Gil who was fly­ing to Alaska, joined them for the fourth of July. The Prado’s, Gary, Heidi, Brenn, Caitlin and Kin­sey along with Joyce as well as the Montgomery’s went to Spring Island for the parade and enjoyed the sports facil­ity and play ground.

The fam­ily enjoyed the fourth of July cook out at Spring Island then fire­works and sparklers at the cot­tage.

Heidi, Gary, Brenn, Caitlin and Kin­sey came to Hilton Head for Easter Sun­day. The Montgomery’s spent Easter in Evans­ville.

So many presents to open!

Every­one is hard at work­ing assem­bling and try­ing out some­thing new with Dei­dre always near by.

Brenn loves his new Jeep and we take time out for Christ­mas Din­ner, which is always spe­cial.

Alexan­dra has a new Jeep as well and Brenn shares his new game with Alexan­dra.

Brenn tries his new boat out in the lagoon and finally its time to go home with a car load of toys.
