Okay, you know it's bad when you haven't blogged for 41 days!  Have I been that busy?  Maybe so.  The end of the school year was a hectic event with musicals, choral choir performance, dance recital, a promotion ceremony for Susan (cap and gowns for 8th graders?  How lame!).  Then it was prep work for a family reunion on my dad's side of the family.  We had it this past weekend and it was an absolute blast!  We went to Camp Trinity in New Haven, MO.  A beautiful place and a great part of the country.  We had the whole camp to ourselves and the kids never got tired of all the activities: canoeing, fishing, swimming, hiking, campfire, etc.  I'd highly recommend the place to anyone who wants a great place to have a special get-together without too much hassle. 

Now it is looking forward to Paul's family reunion in Helena, Montana!  I can't wait for that.  We plan to visit Glacier National Park and Yellowstone.  Also looking forward to visit with family and friends before, during, and after the reunion.

My brother, Jon, and his family will be stopping through here today for an overnight visit on his way to Wisconsin.  I look forward to spending more time with him and his family.

Also, the countdown for Susan to attend boarding school is on.  She will need to be there a week in advance for Volleyball camp.  I'm really glad that she will be revisiting her interests in sports.  I think she could be a good player if given the proper coaching.  We shall see.
