Saturday we celebrated my uncle Roger’s 50th birthday at my grandma Gebhart’s house. There was lots of food for lunch, including a big bowl of my uncle Roger’s blackberries, picked that morning. (He also sent us home with some fresh corn—yum!)

In addition to Uncle Roger, Sophie met lots of new people—Aunt Ellen, Uncle Mark and Aunt Tammy—for the first time.

In true Gebhart fashion, there was lots of ice cream on hand.
