Spring and Summer Happenings


I can't believe summer is here already. We made it through the spring with all the program practices and programs at the preschool and on top of all that we managed to get our youngest son graduated. He had a whirlwind of senior activities the last two months of school and we will always treasure them. He did an amazing job with his senior oral defense of his thesis paper this year as did all of his classmates. They are a tremendous group of young people who will indeed change the world with their talents. Right at the time of his senior defense a flu like bug hit our family. Dad got it first and then it hit me right after his oral defense. The Friday of his Jr/Sr banquet it hit Thomas but he rallied back and made it to the banquet. Abigail was only down one day but her older sister had it two weekends in a row. We had hoped we had seen the last of it but right after everyone came to visit for the graduation it hit again this time giving it to our grandchildren.
Thankfully it was after Thomas was on his way to England before it hit them and he missed it. It tried to mess up our vacation but we managed to get the kids lots of time tubing, water boarding and swimming, snorkeling and just having a good time with the hot tub around the guest house we stayed in.
We had the privilege of staying at a lake house where cell phones did not work (they don't even have phones in guest rooms at all) the computer did not work and we had the luxury of relaxing every morning before we headed out to the lake. It was great!
