Midsummer Update

 
We are about half way through the summer so I thought I should update the blog before back to school gets into full swing.  Mary softball team is playing in the season tournament this week.










Cecilia really enjoys calling her father "shorty" and when she found this book at the library, she needs a picture.











Then she went off to summer camp with the Scout troop.


George, Patrick and I made the short drive over to visit as Mike and Mary had Cub Scout things to do that evening.




She was a little tired.


The staff marched in for flags after dinner.

Like most boys his age, George was in desperate need of a hair cut.  I talked him into it before his backpacking trip.

Don't forget about summer swim.  Mary decided to join Becca in competing at some of the meets this year.  Cecilia had to go with me last night and took this pictures on my phone.





It has been a busy summer for sure.  Mike was away for 13 days in June in Australia for work and just returned from a week backpacking trip with George.  Patrick is away being a camp counselor at Eagle Eye taking a break from the many jobs he's doing.  Becca, besides lifeguarding and teaching lessons at our local pool, was a counselor at IL Wesleyan for ILS and will be returning to staff NYLT for BSA soon.  I already mentions Cecilia's summer camp and Mary got to go to resident camp with Mike for a long weekend as well.  And I got increasing arthritis pain in my lower back so its been a new adventure for us all!
