We had a great weekend! Jillian turned 5 on Friday. Bret and I both took the day off and we drove up to Vermilion for the weekend. Jillian has been asking to go to the beach for a while so the four of us went to Huron and spent a great day playing in the sand, building sand castles and jumping in the waves. The weather was absolutely perfect and it was just nice to spend the day together doing something we all enjoyed. On Friday night we went out with Kay and Dean and Amanda and Jason while the kids had dinner with Grandma and Papa Deel. We sat on the river and enjoyed watching the boats go by.
On Saturday my sister Vicki and her husband Todd had a great cookout. We celebrated Jillian's b-day and my Dad's b-day. The weather was perfect. We spent most of the day in the pool and then we had a great fire that evening. We had all of our family and my aunt and uncle and three cousins came in from Detroit. Most of Todd's family were there also to participate in a race this morning so we had quite the gathering. Their home is so great for entertaining with the pool, the basketball court, etc. Dad even let the kids all get on the golf cart and the four wheeler and ride back thru the trail in the woods...the kids had a blast.
This morning Todd and some of his family participated in a Triathlon/Duathlon (sp)..we Middleton's just slept in but we were cheering for them in spirit!! Todd finished first in his division and his brother Jeff finished 4th in his - Congrats!!! This afternoon we ordered pizzas and everyone gathered back at Todd and Vicki's for more swimming and family time....it was another great day.
Speaking of races, we are building quite the team for the Race for the Cure in September...we have almost 30 registered and probably another 15 that say they will register...Team Ta-Ta's will be quite the group on September 14th!!!
It was nice to spend time together...we stayed with Kay and Dean so we were able to spend some quality time with them and and I appreciate Todd and Vicki having all of us over there 2 times...that is a lot of people to entertain but they do a VERY NICE job. Poor Jillian just cried and cried when we got in the van to leave...she loves playing with Todd's nieces...it didn't take long for her to fall asleep once we got on the road so she and I snoozed for quite a while...
It's almost time for school to start...Tyler starts on Tuesday and Jillian starts on Thursday. I didn't think Jillian would worry at all about going to the "big" school but last Thursday night she cried and said she just wanted to stay at her old school...looks like we may have some drama this week. I think she will be fine when she sees all her friends there..I can't believe my baby starts kindergarten...
Have a good week!

Man was my house quiet this morning! Sure missing all of you but its nice to know we will all be there for "the walk" in just a few weeks! Great family, great times!!
Love you, Kay
Looks like we missed each other in town last weekend. We spent the week at a cottage in Linwood and hung out with the fam. All the kids were in one place at the same time. That's one for the record books. Hope we can hook up next time!
Take care!
