First week of school down

We had a good first week, with lots of activities. Kevin started karate, Megan is enjoying band, Stephen is waiting for soccer to start, and Jacob is enjoying the car we helped him buy (even though he still doesn't have a job). We had a great initial Cub Scout meeting for our leaders, and Sue surprised me with an early birthday cake at the end of the meeting! Ah, life is good...

Happy Anniversary to us

We are celebrating 23 years of marital bliss!  Woohoo! 

Fun July 4th

As much as we wanted to go out we opted to stay home and relax for the 4th of July celebration.  We had a fire and fireworks on the driveway; we figured since Stephen and Megan were both sick this was better than going to one of the local fireworks displays.  Jacob as out with his girlfriend, so we felt a little incomplete.  Hope you celebrated oyr country's independance in your own special way :-)

Summer off to a good start

Well, Jacob has graduated high school, Sue made it back from her mission trip to Nicaragua, Megan is still down there for another week, Stephen and Kevin are in a science day camp this week, and I'm having fun working 4 evening shifts again this week during thunderstorm season. Woohoo! Looks like this is going to be a great and busy summer :-)

Happy Birthday, Jacob!

Our oldest child turns 18 today - woohoo!  Jacob is a fine young man and is doing well with life.  He's graduating from high school next week, all set to go to college in the fall, and having lots of fun with life.  We love you, son! 

Life is good but busy

Wow, we're less than two weeks from the end of the school year and in full forward motion! Jacob's graduation, Stephen moving up to middle school, Megan and Kevin and their stuff, awards ceremonies, Cub Scouts AND Boy Scouts, birthdays, and Sue and Megan preparing for a mission trip to Nicaragua - whew! We seem to be keeping up with everything, but it sure seems hectic, too :-) Hope things are good with you!

Happy Birthday, Stephen!

Today our aon Stephen turns 11!  He's doing so good in school, scouts, and life.  Woohoo!
