Aug. 14:
We just got back from the Babler family’s annual trip to Jack’s house on the Wisconsin River.  I kept remembering back to last year when
Andrew was so very little (and rather unhappy that month).  He’s such a
different kid now.  And such a marvel!  We did all the regular
activities…played games, ate loads of yummy food, floated down the river, and
sat outside and watched the stars come out.  Andrew stayed out of the
river again this year, but maybe in another year or two we’ll think of bringing
him along in a canoe.  It was a fun trip…commemerating Joe’s last
weekend in Wisconsin before he heads out to Maine for college this fall.  And we were all so much
more light-of-heart because of Mom’s continued excellent health.  Photos
of our weekend are in the gallery.
