... and since the last blog update was, um, last summer, it's about time. So here's what's been happening in the last eight or so months...
Kids are growing up ... fast... Luke is almost 2, and has begun splitting wood for next winter. Poppa Messer, in the background, turned 100 back in September... pretty cool.
Avery is pushing 14. (-10). Here she is with buddy Taryn after attacking some Icee's after a long afternoon of shoe shopping.
Luke looking to fix something that ain't broke... yet.
Tailgating in Oakhurst after visiting with the Mackinga's.
"Uncle Steve" graduated from the academy and is working in LA. He made a special appearance with Justice at Foothill to visit some of his old students.
So we're a happy little family, blessed beyond measure.
Yes, Rudy still calls the shots (but refuses to look at the camera).
