Thus far, in addition to numerous visits with family, the kids and/or I have done the following:
- Two week fitness bootcamp - Me - still haven't fully recovered (whimper, moan)
- Weekly trips to the Library - All
- Band Camp - Hannah - 1 week - (Mercifully, the child opted to play sax rather than the oboe... whew! That was a close one!)
- Basketball Camp - Joseph - 1 week
- Twin Lakes Christian Camp - Hannah and Joseph - 1 week
- Royal Family Kids' Camp - Me - 1 week
- Basketball camp - Hannah - (in progress, 1 week)
- Went to see two movies Star Trek (was awesome... I'm just saying) and Monsters vs. Aliens (did anyone else burst out in laughter when the presidential character went up to the alien, and pounded out the little musical theme from Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind, and then lifted his hand up in the classic Vulcan, "Live long, and prosper" greeting?) TOTALLY HILARIOUS!
- Devotions - Working our way through the book of Joshua (very good study with the kids)
- School Work - Kids are daily working through their Summer Bridge Workbooks to keep them fresh and ontrack for school in August
- Ministry responsibilites (okay, this is mainly me, but still!)
- Hueston Woods - We had a wonderful day of hiking last week in the beautiful Buckeye State!
It's enough to make a person long for summer to end! Anyway, I do not share that for any other reason than to lead me to say the following: If you're not hearing from me, THIS IS WHY!!! And, truly, this list doesn't cover it all. We're headed to Kentucky this week to visit my wonderful Uncle Bill and Aunt Otella. Should be a good time! Once things settle down here (they will do that eventually, right?) I will resume posting pictures and blogging. However, with the sun shining and the kids home, it just seems a far better use of my time to expend my energies with my sweet children.
To all whom may read this: Hope your summer is as wonderful as ours has been!
