Notes from Mom

How long since I've posted!? But even if I don't write, I enjoy reading..and looking. In fact, I'm feeling a little outdated since you all put such great pictures on the blog, and I only write. I can see I need to learn to use the digital camera and then just DO IT!

Abby, your columbine are stunning...and what are the blue flowers? I've hardly paid attention to my garden, and your pictures make me really want to get out and plant and work in it again. Are your clematis blooming? Both of ours are, and they're very nice, and I planted a couple of sun bowls (to put in the shade though) and they look very nice too. I'm thinking we'll get some rain again soon and that would be good - we've had so much wind that some things are pretty bedraggled - especially my peonies. I missed them entirely since we were so busy with Bible School while they bloomed, and now they're ragged from the wind.

And I loved the pics of Anna baking---and you using your grill, Matt ---and vacation pictures from Montana (especially Anna in that red outfit by the stream). But here's a question: what's on the plate that Justin is holding, with all the boys around him? It looks like a snake, but I'm thinking that wouldn't be lunch!

Anyway, thanks to you that post because I love seeing and reading it all...Matt, can we keep signing in as we have or will that change now that you're no longer a Bethel student?

You all know what we've been doing...Matt's graduation which was great, DBVS which was awesome, and our time at Shetek Park which was just so serene and really a nice break after the hustle of Bible School. Now we're looking forward to Duluth and really glad that Sarah and Kojoe can join us there (and of course, you too Matt - the reason we're headed there)

Both your dad and Thomas are at camps in SD for the week, so I'm hoping for good weather for them, and especially curious about what Thomas will think of camp since it's his first year. Pray for him...camps have the potential to be such great times for kids. And pray that he'll find friends there since he didn't really know other kids going.

Sarah finished her assessment at Courage Center, and they'll meet with her in a week or two to go over everything...she's been pretty tired from it all. I guess the assessments are very thorough.

I know Megan saw the doc today for another checkup --- I'm trusting little junior is doing fine :>)

Now I must go and start some supper for myself - Just know I'm thinking of all of you. Have a great day! Love you, Mom
