Our vacation this year was over the Memorial Day Holiday. In our travelings we had the opportunity to stop in Washington DC the Saturday of that weekend. We met up with a friend of ours, John Tilley, who is one of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington. Unforuntely we were just "passing through" and were only in DC for a few hours. We spent all of that time in Arlington and walked almost the whole way around the cemetary. It was a very special day to be there and quite sobering. We appreciate all of our men and women in uniform that give their life for our country.

My cousin Ben's son David was absolutely fascinated by Isaac. He sat there for quite some time that day just watching him sleep. He was constantly asking for him. It was really fun.

Here is Isaac being held by Annette's mom and played with by Grandma Williamson. He got alot of extra attention that week!

Isaac looks quite cozy here being held by his daddy. I love this pic.

We were busy picking up last minutes things for the picnic, including balloons for Gram's birthday. Thankfully we had taken our van, otherwise I don't think they would have ever gotten those balloons in a car. As it was, Rebecca rode like that the whole way home. Thankfully we didn't have too far to go!

Aaron and his cousin with her little baby boy. Him and Isaac were born only a few days apart.

Part of the gang playing a few games of Canasta after the crowd dwindled down. Gram West, Gary, and Uncle Larry all played while Aunt Carrie looked on.

Uncle Aaron bought some fireworks and firecrackers. Here the kids are having a blast running around the yard with their sparklers. This made me slightly nervous, but they had a great time and it made some really neat pictures.

We have had alot of activity going on in the last month or so. We have done alot of traveling in a short amount of time. Vacation was the end of May which was a great time visiting family. Soon after that Isaac and I headed to Indian Cave Youth camp for 2 weeks back to back of camps. (Pictures coming soon!) We were home for a week and were faced with a very difficult funeral of a wonderful lady in the church. The beginning of the next week we headed off to Texas for General Conference. I am glad to be back home for a little while! Isaac has faired well through all of it all. He is such a little trooper. I know he is glad to be back home too though! We are looking ahead to the upcoming weeks with VBS just over a week away, Isaac's dedication, my parents moving back to Parkersburg WV, and a Home Missions Project at our church with the Atlantic District Youth.
