My Famous Husband :)

Gorgeous Day :)

Today was absolutely gorgeous! I'd like summer much better if it could be like this all the time :) Alyssa and I spent the afternoon into part of the evening at Erika's high school graduation party. She was salutatorian of the Class of 2011 at Northampton and will be attending Drexel University in the fall majoring in Biomedical Engineering with a minor in German. We got her a college 'survival kit'. We put all the necessities in a small rubbermaid tote: bandaids, anti-itch cream, TUMS, ibuprofen, cough syrup, scotch tape, sharpies, pencils, pens, post-it notes, anti-bacterial soap, crayons, headbands, scissors, Gummi vitamins, umbrella, Vitamin C drops, etc. You know....all the important stuff you just HAVE to have :)

Kurt took these pics two weeks ago when he was in Copenhagen, Denmark on business:

Shtuff

A few sunsets....it's been a while, I know you've been wondering :)

Company we've had for a few weeks:

A late dinner on Friday evening worked out for us. We discovered as we were driving home from the Pennsville Hotel that Woodstone Golf Course was having their fireworks. Alyssa and I dropped Kurt off and we drove back out our road and parked on the shoulder to watch them :)

Thanks To His Sister....

.....my son was one of them :)

We Done Good :)

I love the cards we got Kurt this year for Father's Day :)

New Car :)

Through a series of unfortunate events, Alyssa ended up with a new car today. My mom had a little fender bender with her car last week, rendering her car un-drivable. She will be inheriting Alyssa's old car, thus the reason for Alyssa getting a new car.

It's a 2002 baltic green Jetta with only 39,000 miles on it. It's in terrific condition and the price worked for Kurt :)

And, no, this was not a graduation present for Alyssa....she got a brand new Mac book for graduation. This car is *on loan* to her until she gets a real job and can pay us back.

Geiger/PSU Contingent :)

Oh, I don't know, what do you think about a building being named in their honor? Seems like enough of our money went to Penn State!!

From left to right: Lyle ('70), Kurt ('76), Troy ('94), Kim ('96), Matt ('99), Alyssa ('11)

Oh, and there's the PSU wannabee in the background! He'll be ('14)....

But Wait!

There's More!!!

This was Alyssa's graduation present. It was a collection of hints towards her real graduation gift. Anyone care to venture any guesses as to what she was going to get!?!?

And There's Still More....

Gotta do something to pass the time :)

Cutie pie!

The kiddos all wore blue and white:

LOL! It seems to be the thing to take a nice pic and then a funny one (jsyk, this is the funny one!)

This is our nephew, Matt and his wife, Karlyn with their children, Tate, Lydia and Gabriel. Matt and Karlyn are on staff with DiscipleMakers and live a few miles out of State College. It was so comforting knowing they were nearby these past four years. They picked Alyssa up most Sundays her freshman year and took her to church with them and often fed her afterwards. Matt fixed her car on numerous occasions. They visited her each time she moved into a new place. She babysat for them. They fed her. She attended their church all four years. And now they get Adam for the next three years :) Thanks Matt and Karlyn....we really appreciate all you've done!!

Height does have its advantages :)

Delicious ice cream cake from Coldstone Creamery:

We ordered out from Olive Garden and ate in :)
