mini-update

Since the last post, we celebrated two birthdays, ran in several more track meets, busily worked on the foundation of the house, purchased our summer swimming pools and have read a few good books.
Here are the athletes posing after the Hayden Tigers track meet. They came away with a medal and many ribbons from this event. It was a joy to watch them run. The track season was supposed to be wrapped up today, but due to inclement weather, the track meet was cancelled/postponed. We will find out more details this week.

Larry has been a member of the American Legion Post 89 for the past 2 years. He was recently voted Chaplain for his Post. He is pictured here in his official uniform just prior to a funeral.

Because will have grass seed sown in a few weeks, we needed to find outdoor activities that didn't involve the yard. Following in the footsteps of last year, we decided to purchase a few small inflatable pools that will fit on our back deck. These kept the children cooled off and occupied during many a hot summer day last year and we look forward to many great pictures this year.

We try to read each day a little from a good book. We are engrossed in a Lamplighter book right now, called "Christie's Old Organ". Such a beautiful story. The children are eager to get to the end! They don't know that this book also has a sequel.
