Annual Knochel Family Vacation

Every summer we make our best effort to go on a family vacation with my whole immediate family. This is getting more complicated every year now that Molly is in NYC, Seth is in college in Lubbock, and Kate and I are married and starting families. Despite all that we make it work and I am so glad that we do! Spending a few days all together with nothing to do but make memories is really special. This year we stayed in a cabin in Oklahoma near Beaver's Bend State Park. We had a wonderful time enjoying the lake, the scenery and the cabin. Thank you so much to my parents (Mom) for organizing everything and footing most of the bill. We love you! Here are several pics from our wonderful trip!

And a little Levi update; He had his 1 year appointment with the doctor today and did well as always :) The Dr. said he was advanced in both his motor skills and communication, but we all knew that right ;) I'm so proud...here are his new stats:

weight- 22lbs 9 oz (50%)

height- 31.25 in (90%)

head circumference- 48cm (90%)

So...he is still our tall boy and is burning those calories super fast by always staying busy, that is when he's not asleep :)
