The Liang girls also spent some time with us. They spent the night at our house one night. They played games and slept in the family room (sleep is a relative term here.) We took them bowling one day and swimming another. We all had fun. Kaley was VERY patient with Rachael who adored being with Kaley.

Day on the Ohio River
July 20, 2008 - Two of Mom and Dad's good friends are Bob and Maureen Hannon. Mom taught with Mauren for years at IHM. The Hannons are generous not only to my parents but to us. For a third year they invited us to take a boat ride on the Ohio River. The girls love to be on the boat and I find it relaxing. Drew and Emily were also on the boat although for some reason I didn't really get good pictures of them. During the trip Grace asked Mrs. Hannon if she could drive the boat. To her and my surprise Maureen said yes. The girls each ended up taking a turn driving - and for long stretches of time. They all did well, however I reminded them it didn't mean they would be driving a car anytime soon!

Visit from Murray Kelly's
The weekend after Rachael's birthday, the girls' cousins from Murray came to stay with Nana and Papa for the weekend. Cam will be eleven (?) this November, Kess is 8 and Caden is 5. Overall the kids played well together and Cam was very patient with all the younger kids and dealing with 4 girls! Rachael liked to take care of Caden by bringing him his blanket and rubbing his back. Pretty funny given that Caden is a few weeks older than Rachael.
I am very behind in my posts to the blog - busy doing things to write about so I don't have time to write! I am trying to catch up - my rule right now is less text, more pictures. Pictures usually say it all anyway. By-the-way, notice the pictures below have sweaters on the girls - in July and as I type this it is October 14 and it will be 85 degrees today. Don't tell me we aren't messing up the world's climate!
