Our 22 Anniversary!

Sue and I have been married for 22 years as of today! We continue to have a great time (along with the normal ups and downs of life :-) We packed the kids off so we could have some alone-time and are having fun!

Good week with soccer coach

We had a good time hosting Susan Hall from northern Ireland at our house this week. She was one of the boys' soccer coaches at day-camp this week, and we had a great time with her at our house. She worked half-days, so Sue got to spend quite a bit of time with her. It was fun learning about her family and hearing her accent, and the boys really enjoyed having her at our house. Sue took her to one of the malls and we even took her to the high school band barbecue, so it was like having another member of the family!

Soccer coach at our house

We are honored to have one of the British soccer coaches from Stephen and Kevin's soccer day camp staying with us this week. We're looking forward to learning about her and sharing our family throughout the week. It should be fun!

Good week even though Jacob is gone

We had a good week - Mom Emery had fun at our house, and enjoyed riding home with Sue on Friday. Megan had a good week at FCA camp - she interpreted for our friend Megan M in the evenings but still learned from the camp. And today we got a surprise call from Jacob as he went over the 11,700 foot top of Mt. Phillips out at Philmont. What a great week!

Busy holiday weekend

We're all over the place with the family right now - Jacob is out in New Mexico hiking Philmont Scout Ranch, Megan just got back from FCA camp in St. Simon's Island, Sue is in FL taking her mother home, and I had a big time with Stephen and Kevin at Stone Mountain today. We did the 2nd and 3rd levels of the Sky Hike (very high on ropes! =:), then went and saw the Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen movie. Sue should get home in time for fireworks on the 4th, so it all works out. I hope Jacob is having a blast out there despite the rain forecast!
