Welcome Rylee!!

My best friend Megan and her wonderfully talented husband Ryan welcomed their gorgeous daughter Rylee Hannah Smith earlier this week. I am so excited for them and can't wait to meet this adorable little baby!

Megan is incredible as evidenced by so many things that she is and does. She gave birth to a beautiful girl and is now having to fight a hard fight against Leukemia. She amazes me with her strength. Please keep her in your prayers. I love you Meg!

Birthday Bash!

The heat was so intense and we have no AC here at Camp Equinunk. That really doesn't affect much, we just spend most of our days at the beach on the lake. Not so on July 5th. I picked up Dean's cake and watched as the merciless sun heated our room and melted the frosting into gooey globs. Celebrating a day early suddenly seemed like a grand idea--so we jumped in the truck and found a park in beautiful Callicoon on the Delaware, NY.

This is where most of the cake ended up.

I had ordered an all blue cake---the bakery handed me a cake with yellow, pink, and purple flowers----I just piled berries on top and figured Dean wouldn't care!

Happy Birthday to the best thing in our lives! Everyday is better with him around!
