Hello!
Benjamin and Krissy have just a day or two of school left. I'll enjoy the not-so-early mornings for sure! Krissy did get into ESY (extended school year) which will give her 2 mornings a week at her current school, just for the month of July. I think it will be really good for her to have that mid-summer bridge and will help her manage the transition back into the full time routine in the fall.
Benjamin doesn't ever get summer school, so we're working on some fun options for him. We are very excited that Greg, his special ed teacher from a couple years ago that Benjamin LOVED has agreed to work for us part time this summer. Greg plays the guitar and sings, and I think probably reminds Benj some of Steve Ziegler (a very good thing!) so we're thankful that he'll get to enjoy this regularly this summer.
David and Jamie made it thru finals (David is very happy with his B in Calculus) and are enjoying school being out. Anne is also relaxing before her summer session starts. She won't do full time school, and I think has worked out a strategy where she'll work harder one week in order to have the next one off. Whatever works! She's been really helpful around home.
For those of you not in the Portland area, suffice it to say that we are treading water here....we thought summer was coming, but it was a false alarm I guess. Maybe August??
As promised, here are a few more pictures from our trip. Note a most unusual sighting of David talking (for an EXTENDED perioe, no less) on the cell phone. He sure missed Emily but they enjoyed an occasional visit by phone. The picture of the lake is a brief stop we made at Lake Shasta...it was late evening, but that didn't stop Jamie from wading while I had Krissy run laps around the car :o)
He went out to Emily's family's place to help plant their big garden yesterday (they live in the country), but I guess they decided to wait for a nice day in the next week or so to do that (you can always hope...)
Drop us a line when you can....Love Janelle
