George and Mary Pettigrew

This month we had Christmas on New Years Day and Flat Stanley came to Iowa from Pennsylvania.

During November 4-11, we took a trip to Pennsylvania for Pop-Pop Karl’s 90th birthday party

Jean came for a visit and we took a trip to the Lincoln Museum in Springfield, IL

More Pictures of Will and the summer Pops Concert of the QC Symphony

More of the Vitug visit.  Mary’s Birthday and more pictures of Will.

The trip to Vincennes for Will’s baptism over the 4th of July weekend and the beginning of Nancy, Jon, Matias and Lea’s visit.

More pictures of Will. Also pictures of the Father’s Day Cake at Liz and Tim’s and several of the air show.

Today was a cookout at Liz and Tim’s. Mack had the neighborhood kids over for games (see the items laid out next to the sidewalk and labeled!). The Tim got the kids to all take turns cranking the ice cream (ala Tom Sawyer),

Today the crew from Frank’s Tree Service came and removed the tree from beside the driveway.  It was getting very large and beginning to lift the driveway!  We we also worried about it coming down in a storm.  It was very large as the first and last pictures show.
