The Hays Family

 Ben has been working on a violin this summer.  He is very talented in what he can create.

 Melanie has been busy canning.  I can just hear the ping of the lids.  It reminds me of my mother.

 Oliver entered some of his Origami in the Polk County Fair in Oregon.  He got the Superintendent Award.

Henry entered a picture of snails and got a ribbon and chocolate.  I miss them being close by.
