Ethan & Asa's cousin Josiah turned 3 last weekend! 

Uh oh

Here's another one for the "you take your eye off them for a minute" category... 

Wedding Trip

Emily & I took our family on a trip to Georgia to see Emily's last unwed sibling, Lance, get married. We stayed in the staff quarters of Marsh View Bible Camp, a Christian kids camp owned by a church in Midway, GA. We're very grateful for their generosity in letting us stay there. Having all of Emily's family in one spot made it much easier to spend time together. Enjoy the pix!

We stayed next to a big salt marsh. Beautiful, but lots of gnats

We stayed at a camp that had several man-made ponds. Uncle Lance hooked a couple of catfish and let Ethan reel them in.

We stayed in the staff quarters at Marsh View Bible Camp, a Christian camp owned by a local church in Midway, GA (about 20 min from Savannah). Grampa Ficek is taking the older boys to feed the camp's pig (a very homely and quite inert pig, I might add).
