Visit to the Cabin

We went to the cabin earlier this week. While we were there, Greg helped his dad put in some insulation and I cleared some of the twigs and branches out. It's coming along very nicely!


This is Emily with Cabbie, isn't it cute how even the cat is camouflaged!

Happy Birthday Malia!

Miss Malia Mae turned 4 years old!To celebrate we had a family trip to the Lakeside/Marblehead area of Lake Erie.
It was a picture perfect day at East Harbor Beach.
A game of shuffleboard was enjoyed at Lakeside.
On the way home we stopped by the Marblehead Lighthouse so I could snap a picture.

From the UPSers.Com website:

UPSers are rewarded for their volunteer hours entered in the Neighbor-to-Neighbor system.
Mahoning Valley Delivery Driver Greg Macik has been selected as Volunteer of the Month for July. His name was selected from all names entered into the Neighbor-to-Neighbor (N2N) system for the month of July. Greg will receive a $25 gift card in recognition of his community service efforts.

Luau Party!

We had a great time at the Baker Family Luau this weekend! Lauren & Keith were very missed!

Zack was working on his winking skills the other day.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday Grandma! Here's the garden gnome we picked out on Keith's behalf.

I picked this one since it has a squirrel.

Hope you have a great day!

We Love You!

Fun in the Sun

Last week we went to a playground outside of Cleveland called Preston's HOPE. HOPE stands for Helping Others Play, Enjoy so it's very handicap accessible.


Zack's favorite part was the train, it had a speaker set up so there were real whistles and chugs.

Then later in the week we visited Grandma and Grandpa, after the rain stopped the kids had a ball playing in the puddle of all puddles.
