A visit from Zachery

I can hear the complaining already.... Auntie Nancy, it's not "a" ry....

Sorry, I just noticed I spelled the kid's name wrong. Oooops!

So Zachery is back to visit since his tour in Iraq. We had a busy couple of days with him. Hopefully he'll have time to stop back before he heads back to base.

On Sunday my cousin Curt brought his family over to visit. He was taking Milissa to tour the U of M. She's there oldest. What a mile stone, shopping for colleges. I wonder if it makes them feel old? According to Meagan we are the worst parents alive, because she didn't get to go on any college tours. Boo hoo.

We hung out with the rest of family. Lydia was a perfect little angel. Of course she had a lot of attention. My cousin Ang sent her baby, Garret (16), to Curt's house for a few weeks this summer, and he decided to hang back with us until the 4th. I'm not sure if it is a coincidence or not but... I do think the whole slew of them; Luke, Milissa, Garret, Zach (Korey's) and most of Luke's friends have similar personalities. They are very intellectual, or they think they know everything. At least they have each other to have meaningful conversations with, since the rest of us are SOOOO foolish. Just Kidding!!! well, maybe not! Anyways, I've enjoyed having Garret over, since we rarely see them, and when we do he is usually quiet. I guess that was just a comfort level, because he is a blast. Oh yes, he's helpful too, he even dusted by basement without being asked. Nice kid.

Bob's brother and part of his family came over to visit Zach. They live next door (Farmington) and we barely see them also, there baby is now the tallest in the family! Boy are our kid's growing up fast.

Luke came back from France on Monday. I guess he had a fun time. He has 4000 picture's! You'll have to ask him about it when you see him. His favorite story is his geochaching experience. He really suffered from jet lag, but I believe his back to normal now.

Maegan came home for the night to vist everyone.. always good to see her.

Then yesterday we took Zachery up to see his Mom. He met his new brother, Steven Holiday. That makes seven for Karen and she claims she's done. Finally!

Steven is doing really good. He was a little fussy when we got there, but he loved Zachery. As soon as Zach started palying with him he was all smiles and giggles.

Well, we are off the Jeremy and Angies for the fourth! Thanks to all those who serve our country.

and

God Bless America!
