This year the family celebrated Grace's 3rd birthday at Chucky Cheese. Grace had a nice time with her brother and sisters exploring all the games and rides. We all 
enjoyed visiting with Aunt Jenny after living in California for the past year. She especially liked her new Dora the Explorer "big girl" bike. The following day she celebrated again with her cousin Mak, who had his 2nd birthday on the 23rd.
This Father's Day, Brian, Dad and I, spent the morning at Rockwell Trout Club. It was a beautiful morning and there were several anglers out there. We had a lot of luck, catching 14 between the 3 of us. Brian pulled in the largest of the lot. We had a nice time and can't wait to return. Thanks Dad.
I am sure many have all heard, via Facebook, that Emma got bit by a boston terrier this week. She was walking with two other neighborhood girls who were returning two dogs to their owners, one street over. The dogs were on leashes as they headed around the block. When they were one house away, one of the dogs (pictured below) lunged at Emma. She put her arms up protecting her face and it bit down on he
r left arm, under her bicept. The dog hung there for a few seconds before Emma could get him off. She was taken to Toledo Hospital where she was given 9 stitches on her lacerations. We later found out that these dogs have been loose before, running around the neighborhood. She is pretty sore but, in good spirits. The only bummer is that she is heading off to summer camp on Monday. 
This week Hannah graduated from Perrysburg JHS. I can not believe she will be going to the big high school next year. Here she is at her reception with her friends, Jessica, Mikeala, Grace and Jake. They all look so grown up.
It is hard to believe that Hannah is already 14 and will be starting high school next year. She spent her 14th birthday a Cedar Point yesterday with her orchestra class. They had a competition and then spent the day in the park. It sounds like fun but, Hannah had to spend the day in a wheel chair. She fractured her fibula about 1 1/2 weeks ago on our trampoline. She was bummed but, a trooper even in the rain.
American Idol finalist and Toledo native came home today for her home town visit. She performed all over Northwest Ohio. Jamey was able to get Emma some really good seats for the sold out Mudhen's game where she sang the National Anthem. Thanks to Papa who was her chaperon for the night. She (Emma) is so spoiled!
