Well I Survived My 40th Birthday

Not that I was actually dreading it or anything, it just seemed weird to be turning 40. I grew up with young parents and was married and moved out of the house before they even turned 40, so to me 40 always seemed a bit old (even though now I realize that is silly). I don't feel old at all!

I really have been bad keeping up with blogging. Need to make an effort to try harder at this.

Here's a quick update using photos of course:

My sister Carrie and her children came to visit us in early July. We had a great time and I am so glad that they came. We don't see eachother enough!

Amanda bought her first new car.

Amanda brought home a kitten.

Katie turned 15.

Bill's dad rode on a B-17

We went to Bill's family reunion (until this year, previously held on Labor Day Weekend)
