A Quick Week!

Boy the time goes fast! It was great to have Brian home with us . He was able to get away for 10 days...was able to see alot of people and spend some special time with friends and family.
Here is a "special" picture with brian, karen and "the aunts". Also, he got some more tattoos...said that he had been thinking about this for a long time...from what I understand, the sparrows are a special symbol for the Coast Guard and signify that they will always "Bring you home". Brian also said that the same artist designed my father's tattoo.
Anyway........ fun was had by all, but oh it went so fast and he will be underway again in mid August....just about the time the new "little Bindewald" will be making an appearance in St Louis.

Brian home on a little leave, him and his dad really enjoyed building a new set of stairs for Grandpa and Grandma.

Look what I can do!!!!

Little Wyatt!

Bindewalds and Averbecks

Brian's Home! He spent some time sleeping after getting home....he said it felt good not to have to get up so early for once. We had a great day on Sunday....The Averbeck clan came over and we had a ball, as usual. It was kind of "spur of the moment"...but EVERYONEwas able to come.
The boys had fun with a little football, and as usual had way too much to eat. We got our "baby fix" with our little great nephew, Wyatt. He decided to try climbing stairs for the first time right when he got here....Fun! Oh, that picture will be next, I'm still a little technologically incompetent....but you'll get the picture!

Went to the cabin this weekend for the fourth....was very relaxing...just us old geezers. It sure is quieter without the kids around! But it really was nice to get away and we had perfect weather. Did some fishing on Mille lacs and also went over to Clear Lake where, believe it or not....Grandpa and Grandma finally made the "Wall of Fame." Grandma was SOOOO excited to finally get to be on the wall....and of course she loves eating them too.
