Just shortly after Lorelei's blessing, Jim and Emily decided to separate. To be truthful, the marriage had been in trouble for a while and it was a mutual decision to head toward a divorce. In this case, it is the right direction to be headed. They have very little in common, other than two beautiful children, and Emily is exhausted from trying to make it work. She has a long road ahead of her, but we are on the right road finally.
Jim moved out on June 11th and Emily and the kids are living here with us. It has required us all to make changes, but we are loving having her, Jimmie, and Lorelei in our home. We look forward to the day that they can be on their own, but we are going to enjoy this season of togetherness while it lasts. Evan had said over and over again how boring it would be when Nate left on his mission. Well, not any more!! The house is full of lots of noise, toys, and love. We are very blessed!!

And then on to the cows
Lorelei had a pretty good time there......
...but Jimmie (who we thought would love the fair) had a pretty tough time most of the time we were there. Here he is with a half smile behind that bink.
Ahhh yes, Turkey Hill All Natural.....doesn't get any better than that!!
Jimmie working on one of his water color masterpieces
The color reminds me a little of Mondrian, don't you think?
Our family members have always been big fans of Harry Potter. When Megan was home this summer, she whipped up this little number for Harry Potter's birthday!! YUMMM!!
And here is Miss Lorelei!! She looks pretty content considering she just had her shots!
Love having this sweet little family here with us!!
I made the Harry Potter cake ;) Love the pictures!!
