Second Sugarloaf Summit

As part of our ward's "walking buddies" club, our family a week or so ago daringly summited Sugarloaf Mountain for the second time in a single year. Although we considered contacting the Guinness folks to see how such an accomplishment might register, we decided instead to simply post a few pictures.

Overdue Willis Update

So ... we've fallen behind a bit on the blogging front. I began several posts that I never finished. Others I never even started -- although I thought about it. In any case, it is now more than three months since spring break with nary a peep from "The Willis Way."

Today, the situation is rectified, at least somewhat.

Below is a reverse-chronological, mostly pictoral, update of Willis family happenings over the last 3+ months. (Of course, it ends at the 4th of July -- always behind...)
