Welcome to the family

A few weeks ago Doug and I spent the weekend at the lakehouse. The lakehouse is always a fun place because it's vacation all the time, no excuses. Our favorite vacationing techniques include: playing chess, napping, watching movies, swimming, napping, eating delicious meals, and waterskiing.


 
 

Yes, this is Doug on one ski! He got up on the first try this year. Last year he spent two weeks trying and practicing and he finally got it! My family has now officially accepted him into the group :).

Our newest member of our family cost a heck a lot more than a few weeks and gas money for the boat:


Still, we are super excited for this new purchase - the biggest one-time purchase we have made. Ever. Bonus, this Mazda is registered (unlike some other people I know who have this car whose registration has expired...). Duke, we'll be coming in style.

Congrats you guys!! Doug, that rocks, congrats about getting it on the first try -- Chris is so Jealous. That is, about getting a new car on the first try. She's never done that before. And congrats too about the ski ;-)

New car!! She's beautiful. ;) That's so exciting!
We really miss you guys - we'll have to plan a vacation together sometime relatively soon. Maybe another camping trip? ;) <3
