The Laking Life

Ella Catherine and Carter spent the week with Grams and Grandpa at the Lake.  We are so glad that the kids get this one on one time with their grandparents and we get a quiet house. haha :)
They had a wonderful time living the lake life.  They went to "goat Island" and fed the goats apples.  This is always one of the kids favorite things to do when we go to the lake.  Grams and Grandpa took them to the movies to see Ice Age the drift in 3D.  Ms. Cristal made rainbow cookies with the kids and colored with Ella Catherine. They went to see the waterfall and enjoyed jumping off the boat into the water.  A trip to Pickwick State park allowed them to swim at the beach, feed the geese and play in the park.  Last but definitely not least, they had their first tubing experience.  I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, but here is a hint....THEY LOVED IT!!! 
Thanks Grams and Grandpa!  We are already looking forward to next year; however, our home won't be as quiet as it was this year. :)

Three's Company

Matt and I are excited to welcome Baby Lynch #3 due 11/26/12.  This ultrasound picture was taken on 5/11/12. 
Most recent 3D ultrasound taken on 7/20/12 21 weeks 5 days.  Baby boy or girl Lynch is doing well so far.  As you can tell from the picture he/she is still a little skinny and will spend the next few months fattening up for his/her debut.

SSI 2012

We took our annual beach trip to SSI and it was glorious!!  So glad my kids are growing up with memories of a place I love so much and they love too! The pictures can tell the story much better than I can.

We went swimming in the pool:
