Had a terrific Father's Day and triple birthday bash for Steve and his parents on Sunday. Allison, Ben, Micah and Brennan were here; also, close friends, Doug and Rhonda Stanton and kids, Josh and Janae. We had not spend that much time with them in years. Reconnecting with friends is so much fun, and builds so many memories.

Brennan spent the night. Was so good until he had an accident at McDonald's with Papa. Papa was not happy and so Brennan had to have a bath before we took him to see his Mom play softball tonight. This potty training is just not his piece of cake, and I really don't think he really cares too much about the whole deal. We tell him he won't be able to go to preschool this fall if he isn't potty trained and he just shrugs his shoulders.

Mom and Dad Z went home today. Called and they had stopped in Shipshewana. Saw Rick Miller at the Brethren Camp and he talked about times with Steve and I as directors there for 5 years for senior highers. What good and fun times. He said that our influence helped him to make the choice to be a full-time camp director.

Gotta go....I am tired. Oh yes, new member of the family. Liam Willis Shroyer, born to Zach and Sarah Shroyer, nephew and niece. Welcome, precious Liam!!
