This is what a summer looks like- at the Foutzes
I’m far over due to post. And yet I have little desire to write about what we’ve been up to. I fear it would just be a travelogue, which is generally unexciting to those who weren’t riding along. And yet I want to document the wonderful times we’ve had and the memories we’ve made with family.…

Anders: 4 months
Here’s our happy little guy at 4 months. Anders is an incredibly smiley little guy. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve turned around in a line to find several adults competing to see who could get a bigger smile from him. He smiles in a wide-mouth full bodied way- his head swinging back…
