Family chat

Hi you all :>) Just a little quick chat with you before I get ready for bed.

The weekend in Duluth/Two Harbors was so much fun...fun to camp again and fun to be part of the marathon scene. I'm waiting for Matt to post some pictures for those of you who weren't there. Highlight was - of course - watching Matt do so well in the race (as well as Justin and Mikayl - however that name is spelled...)But it was also fun crowding into the camper for breakfast (eggs in a bag) while it poured rain outside - and fun to have Sarah and Kojoe there for extra visiting (and help - especially in the rain!)- and fun to be with some family for Father's Day, and hearing from the rest of you by phone. On our way home from Duluth we bought a new toaster oven, so that was your dad's big Father's Day gift from me. (Hey, he really likes them for making frozen pizzas...)

Now I'm really looking forward to some more camping...being in the camper again felt so cozy. (Of course, we have our trip to DC coming up --- that should be pretty cozy with six of us together...after that we may all feel the need for some personal SPACE!!)

It was so fun to be together --- so Abby, can I invite anyone who can come to your house for Labor Day weekend for the Life Light festival? I'm hoping to get there for at least part of it --- any other takers??

Good news from Abby - she said Thomas had a GREAT time at camp...so I'm hoping for more details when we have time to talk longer.

Today it was back to work - both your dad and I felt we could have slept a lot longer this morning! But today he got the tent and camper all dried and aired out so they're put away, and I've unpacked everything and have the laundry sorted, so soon we'll be back to "normal" (whatever that is). Then, of course, I leave for the Cities on Wednesday for meetings, and we're looking forward to staying with Peter and Megan on Friday night after Sam's wedding...then back here sometime on Saturday.

So ---time keeps marching on! As I said, I'm looking forward to some pics on the blog...and when your dad has some enery built up, I'll have him load pics from our camera into the computer and will send on anything that's worth seeing.

All of you, have a great week! Love you, Mom
