Summer 2009

Hi Grandson,

I can't believe it's August already! This summer has flown by! We put in a pool this summer and Grandpa is working on finishing the Pool House. The Pool House is really big (32x32). Me and Grandpa hope to spend a lot of time with our family, kids, grandkids for years to come in that pool and pool house! I took a picture today of what it looks like so far.

If you look directly behind the pool house, you will see a hot tub. About 10 feet behind the hot tub is a big creek with waterfalls. The creek runs through all of our property. The sound of the flowing water puts us to sleep at night. It's beautiful.

So far, the pool house is going to have a bar in the middle of it. Above the bar will be a Mansard Roof. Behind the bar will be a bathroom, and behind the bathroom we will have a small kitchen and grill setup. So, if you come and spend time with us, you can go swimming while Grandpa makes you a hamburger on the grill! We also want to have a ping pong table and some lounge furniture in the pool house.

Grandma has seen that you have been having a fun summer too! Your Aunt Stacey has sent me videos of you. I love them all but one of my favorites is of you at Lake Michigan pouring sand down your pants! I will put some of the videos below, at the end of this post.

Seeing you in your videos reminds me of when your dad was little. You two look so much alike and sound so much alike. When your dad would do something fun, he would say, "Do it again" and when you said this in one of the video's, it sounded just like him!

Grandma Loves You!
