Summer
Hello everyone. It has been a wild and crazy summer so far. We are at our cottage in Pentwater, Michigan for the summer. If any of you are in the area, please get in touch with us, we would love to see you. Winton was with us from June 1st to July 13th this summer. Six weeks just go way to fast. He is growing so big and is of course an awesome big brother. Winton was able to attend a one week summer camp at Spring Hill Camps and he absolutely loved it. While Winton was at summer camp, Lee was able to go to Canada with his dad, Uncle Jack, and Uncle Jim on a 5 day fishing trip. They had a great time, and caught a fair amount of fish. No one was eaten by bears, but they did get eaten by the black flies. While Winton and Lee were away, Julie was able to relax with Max, and catch up with a friend in Chicago for some girl time.
Over the holiday of July 4th, we were able to enjoy having Lee's entire immediate family (all 16 of us) to the cottage. We enjoyed lots of days at the beach, Sea Doo'ing, sailing, and many trips into Pentwater for ice cream. We also enjoyed celebrating Max's 1st birthday on Jun 14th with lots of friends and family (25 all together). Thanks to those that were able to be here and to those that weren't able to make it, you were missed but we understand that life is busy.
Last but certainly not least, we were able to have Dusty Brown a photographer from Grand Rapids come to the cottage and take some family pictures. Dusty has mad talent, and is an amazingly fun person to be around, SO if you live in the GR area, please remember Dusty next time you need pics of your family, wedding, engagement, or senior pics. You will love him and the pics. Check out our pics on-line at www.dustybrown.org, then go to "Enter Dusty's Site", then at the look for "Client Preview" tab, after you click on that go to the Horning Family and the password is Pentwater. You can check them out and also check out Dusty's blog. Thanks again Dusty, we love the pics and can't wait to work with you again. We wont wait so long next time.
I will post some pics from this summer in a day or two.

April Update from Julie
We are on the road again! Today we are in Elwood, Indiana visiting Lee's parents. Gma and Gpa are enjoying their little cutie grandson. Last weekend we were in Neenah, Wisconsin and then I flew out to Phoenix for the week. Next week is a quick work trip to Minnesota.
What's new you ask! Max is crawling like a champ and walking with the assistance of any stationary object. He is facinated with power cords and outlets that rallies a "no, no!" from dad and mom. Two days ago he climbed the entire flight of stairs. He has also graduated up to a big boy car seat and loving it.
Finally, the latest picutes of our little joy:

Merry Christmas!!
Hello to all, we hope this finds you well and prepared for the holidays. We decided to try a different type of Christmas card this year, an electronic one on our web page, so...here goes.
This has sure been a whirlwind year for our family as I am sure it has been for a lot of you. We have moved 3 times this year, welcomed our baby boy Max into our lives, Winton is now in the 5th grade, Julie has a new position with Johnson & Johnson, and Lee has been busy working also. We will be spending the holidays in Michigan at our cottage on Lake Michigan. We are expecting a white Christmas, and lots of family for the holidays.
Julie was promoted in February to a Division Manager in charge of 7 employees covering Northern Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, part of Indiana, and part of the U.P. of Michigan. Although her job does require her to travel a bit, we a very glad she is able to spend the majority of her time in Chicago. Julie is an awesome team leader, and is passionate about having a positive impact on the lives of women and the quality of their health care. As far as being a mom, Julie loves being a mom, and is absolutely smitten with Max.
Lee has been working in the executive protection field now for over 2 years. He works with mostly corporate clients, and escorts them throughout their day to ensure that they arrive safely. Lee loves his job also, even though it occasionally takes him away from home for 2 weeks or more. One of the nice things about Lee being a private contractor is that he is able to choose the jobs he takes, which allows him the flexibility of being able to care for Max when Julie may be traveling out of town.
Winton is now in the 5th grade and enjoying school very much. He is attending a charter school in Colorado Springs, and is doing very well. His favorite things to do are: anything outside, especially riding his bike. He still does karate twice per week, and is enjoying the skills and discipline he learns from that instruction.
Max is now 6 ½ months old, and is growing so fast. We can hardly believe it has been that long already since we brought him home from the hospital. He is already starting to stand on his own if you holdout your hand for to pull himself up. He loves his new solid foods, even the green beans. Max also is fascinated and amused by the little person he sees in the mirror. He loves to talk and smile to anyone that will listen to him. He sleeps through the night very well and has been a huge blessing in our lives. We are very thankful for the healthy, happy baby that God has blessed us with.
We will be adding some pictures from the holidays after we are back home and all settled in.
From our family to yours; we would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!!
