What we have been up to!

The days have been flying by. This is the busiest time of the year for our family. Talon's ball games and practices keep him worn out, and us worn out getting him there! We had a great Memorial weekend. Uncle Hugh came and stayed with us, and then the rest of my dad's family came and stayed at the lake. We had lots of laughs, and games and chats around the camp fire. The weather was perfect, not too hot, and not too cold! My cousin came with her new baby, so I was in heaven getting my time in for holding little Jake!! He was a big hit for the weekend!! Abi has been working all year on a HUGE country report. She chose to do hers on the Phillipines and the presentation was on Wednesday night for the parents. She did a great job! She even cooked some good looking dessert. It was a tad odd tasting, but very attractive to look at!! We decided that it would take some time to aquire the taste for some of the food. She received a great grade, and is very relieved to have it done! Tonight, Abi graduates from TEAM. It is a program that all 6th graders must participate in....kind of like DARE, if you know what that is. Anyway, we all get to go and watch the ceremonies, and they go skating afterwards. She is very excited! Monday, Nick and Abi head out to 6th grade camp Orkila for 3 days! They are both looking forward to it, and Talon and I are looking forward to a quiet house, and eating what we want!! In the mean time, I am trying to get some work done in the yard. I need to get the mulch put on the flower beds before summer is over! I think I will run and get it this Friday when Nick is home to help me! Maybe he will shovel, and I can spread it! We are looking forward to summer vacation! Sleeping in, soaking up the sun, and lot's of boating, family, and fun! Have a great week!
