Ponty Family Reunion

Meredith and I travelled to Madison last weekend for a Ponty Family Reunion. My Grandma and Great Uncle Herman are the last 2 Pontys of that generation but there were many more there from subsequent generations and it was great to see all of them, even if we only knew a few to start with. Uncle Caleb and family as well as Grandpa, Milena and Aunt Alex met us there and Great Aunt Chrissy was nice enough to let us stay with her. Cousin Nicosia was excited to "hold" Meredith, but only for a few minutes because "Meredith's heavy."

St. Louis in the summer

We have been very busy lately, so busy that I have forgotten to update this in awhile. One of the best things that happened is that we put an attic fan in on our roof. The house is so hot in summer-we get full sun all day-and it has helped a lot. Meredith and I had to watch from the yard to make sure Mike didn't fall off the roof. This was also the first time that I had heard Mike was afraid of heights. I managed to carry everything up there and Mike got 90% of it done, but couldn't manuever to get the last of the nails in so I finished and then tarred the remaining shingles. It was 95 degrees that day and while I managed to remember sunscreen for Meredith, both Mike and I walked away a little pinker.
