Karl grew up with his cousins, living in the same area and some even going to the same schools. I saw my cousins only a few times a year, at holidays for some, and once every 4 years for others.
Our boys saw all their cousins this summer! Their only cousin on Karl’s side lives in Michigan and they see her often…
…but their cousins on my side of the family they only see every few years or so, being that they have made Kansas home.
It had been 3 1/2 years since all the Hannas had been together. Since then, there have been a few more additions to the family.
While we were all here we had good times eating good food, playing frisbee golf, going for walks, playing games, going swimming, and just hanging out.
We are all spread out… Mom and Dad with Derrick and Delorah back or going back to Papua New Guinea, Dieneke and Jared in Kansas and soon going to Missouri, Deanna and Gratchen here in Durham, and Robbie in Iowa with plans to head to Wisconsin this fall. I don’t know how long it will be before we are able to all get together again, but it sure was special while it lasted.
Last Saturday my little sister, Deanna, got married. I had the privilage of doing her hair for the big day, putting together all the flowers, and helping to decorate their get away car.
Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Grison!
On July 13th we celebrated Kaden’s 4th birthday! His Aunt Delorah (Denise’s sister) has her 10th birthday coming up next week, so we threw them both a big party. What a great time we all had with family and friends, a sprinkler, water balloons, water guns, and lots of great food.
Happy Birthday Kaden and Delorah!
To celebrate Karl’s 30th birthday we spent the day in Sauble Beach, Ontario. It was a hot and humid day, making for the perfect weather for our trip. We spent our time wading in the water, digging in the sand, walking through the shops, and enjoying some local food.
Happy 30th Birthday Karl!
We went on a hike at Allen Park and enjoyed seeing all the signs of spring. There were several different kinds of flowers, buds on the trees, and even some bugs flying around.
We ended up going down a long trail and were wishing we had brought some water to drink. Next time we will be prepared!
