Maya and Uncle Nathan making S'mores. Oh no... I'm craving them Again.. You'd think 3 were enough.. Or did I have 4???LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture of Uncle Nay Nay, Auntie Stephanie and the girls... 
Uncle Nathan Barefooting.... This picture and the awesome thought of Maya's uncle skiing barefoot made Maya a temporary celebrity in Mr. McGinley's class.... Very cool stuff.... I was just as impressed as the first graders... 
It's so cool, I had to put it again... (Actually an error...)
Birchler Boy Brothers in a Boat (Aren't they just GORGEOUS??? We girls are all so lucky!!) 


Thanks for the Birchler Brother Boys in a Boat Title Sheri!
Last weekend was a mini Birchler reunion at Uncle NayNay's and Auntie Stephanie's house! ! On the dark, long, very rainy, scary and dreary ride Friday night I told Ryan to turn around and go back home at least 20 times... And thank goodness he didn't, because we all had such a blast!! Our highlights included S'mores, yummy meals made all around, (Auntie Stephanie knows how much we love fruit and veggies!!!) "sitting" around the fire in front of the serene beautiful lake chatting our cares away, sleeping until 8am on Saturday (haven't done that for at least 6 years), watching Uncle Nathan Surf and ski, riding in the boat, watching Uncle Jeremy's face when he froze in the water, watching Daddy surf and ski barefoot, playing with Lexie and Auntie Sheri, eating Uncle Nathan's pancakes, running with Ryan, and most importantly, having so many Birchlers together united and hooting it up under one roof.. and only having to drive 5-7 hours to do it!!! :) Such wonderful memories for us all.. It felt like a mini-vacation and it was only a weekend... Maya gets down right giddy when she talks about it....

Anna and Ryan - If you're searching for a blue jacket and hooded sweatshirt it's in Albert Lea:) We'll send it soon. We were lonely this weekend without all of you around!
