A Summer of GOOD Company!

This summer we have been blessed by many friends and family passing through! The Rolling Stones of Granville were our most recent guests. Last week Jenny brought Abby (aka SuperStar Swimming Sensation), Nathan and Jacob up for 24 hours of lake fun. We did the pool, beach, tube, Sea Doo, Jim's Pizza...and we even had a Phantom Phil (and his better half!) sighting! We missed you, Craig! Lisa too! Thank you for making the trip, Jen!

Nathan, Jenny and Jacob on the tube!

Nancy (Fowler) McNamara and family made two stops this summer...

James, Clare, Nancy, Tommy, Molly and Jonathan.

Sweet Grace is just a few months younger than Daniel and will also be a first grader.

Some of our great Bay Village friends joined us for a Beach Day in mid July -- Katy, Kristen, Martha, Tara and Amber and 16 kiddos -- all ages 6 and under!Then...Daniel, Matthew and Stacy (Kauffman) Russotti visited in late July. Stacy lives in Webster, NY. After getting FIVE busy boys to bed, we stayed up way too late chatting and learned just HOW MUCH we have in common with our "special boys." We will get to see them again (and Joe too) on 10.3 for our AHS Class Reunion!

Kari (Hillstrom) McDonough and her three fun kids -- Addie, Teddy and Liam -- made a stop on their trek from DC to Chicago to meet up with Denis who is very busy working on Obama's presidential campaign. Our Miami Gang is hoping for a post-election reunion -- maybe 2009 is our year!?!
And...in mid July Shannon Murray Petruzello stayed at Lakeside (Cottingham cottage!) with the Murray Clan.
