Catching Up

I started the new blog and then haven't bothered to update it...way to go! I just haven't been in the mood to write, even though I had stuff to write about. 

I spent Memorial Day Weekend with my 40th Girls - Heather, Debbie, JoLynne, Lara, Stephanie and Tricia. While "what happens in Denver, stays in Denver," I can say we had a really good time and will have inside jokes for many years to come. Some highlights, without giving too much away, - tiaras and Cheesecake Factory, Denver Police Department, Denver Fire Department, a day in Vail, my first facial and an 1 1/2 hour massage at the spa, and lots of laughter. It was a good weekend.

Last weekend, the kids and I got up on Saturday morning and watched Damon run a 5K. It took 6 minutes off his time - yeah, D - and is now looking at training for a 1/2 marathon. I will be right here encouraging you, honey. I won't be behind you, because I don't run unless I am being chased, but I will be encouraging in every other way. We also headed up to Winfield for a day trip to pick up my sewing machine. Grandma has had it for the last few weeks, playing and testing it out for me. She was a little sad to see it go. 

This week the kids are in Vacation Bible School, on the Boomerang Express. They seem to be enjoying it and come home with updates on the craft of the day, music, and most importantly, what they had for snack. I am hoping there are some biblical principles sinking in there, somewhere. 

Jackson started summer camp today at a local elementary school. It is the same camp he went to last year and he seemed glad to be back. The staff was also glad to see him. They have a full summer schedule - bowling, swimming, IMAX theater, Incredible Pizza, Zoo, skating, and so much stuff we have to have a daily calendar to keep up. 

This summer is going to fly by and I just hope I can hang on and remember at least some of it.
