Can't believe it's been a month!!

So many things have happened since I last blogged so this will be a long post.

First, school ended. It was an interesting year and to say that I am not in love with my school would be an understatement. I am sticking it out one more year to see if it gets better but if not I will be looking for another district and or grade. At this point I am thinking maybe second or third grade might suit me.

With the end of the year came the 8th grade dance, I chaperoned for my school and Justin's school. We also had Justin's 8th grade recognition night in which he and his fellow classmates were recognized for various achievements.

All three kids did well on their report cards although Justin's 8th grade blahness did creep into his grades just a bit.

Since school ended, we have been watching Hannah play tons of softball. She and the Boomers are doing well. As always, Hannah is a powerhouse with her bat!

Justin and I are both doing summer school. I am teaching an enrichment class called What Happens and Twilight and I love it. It's only 3 hours a day four days a week for four weeks. So as of now I am in my 4th week of it. Justin is taking a class at his high school called Freshmen Success. Even though he initially didn't want to go, he is enjoying getting to know the ins and outs of high school, touring the school, meeting new friends and teachers. He is also required to work out everyday for the football team. So he attends summer school from 8-12 and goes back to school everyday from 3-5. Luckily summer school is over this Friday and then he will only have his workouts everyday.

We have been catching up with friends and family and basically enjoying having the time off. By this time in previous summers I have been bored but I am really enjoying my schedule, even though most of it consists of me being a taxi for my kids. Their activities keep my active as well.

Adam went on vacation to the Lake with my parents, brother's family and he had a great time with his cousin Megan and her friend on the boat and in the pool. Pics to come later.

Hannah just got home last night from a camping trip with her friend Kelly. They were gone for four nights and five days, too hear Hannah tell it, that was about 2 days too many due to the heat.

We will be heading to the Lake ourselves in mid July. Can't wait!!

We are also very happy about my mother in law's recovery from heart surgery. She had micro valve surgery in late May and spent four weeks in the hospital recovering. She is now out and doing quite well in her rehab. We are planning her 70th birthday at our house in July. She is one tough lady and we are so thankful for her recovery.

Planning on posting some pictures of all these events from the last month very soon.

Glad to be back on the blogging scene!
