Update

It's been about a month now, since I started working part time at my new job! Every day brings something new and I am learning lots. I am really enjoying the challenge. The kid's are happy for another income source (teenagers...they DO care about $$$) and it seems that the only one of us that is having trouble adjusting to this new routine is the DOG! Whittaker has been getting into plenty of trouble, especially in the first two weeks of me working. I think he is better now and not into as much mischief.

Today, our son writes his last exam and will be bringing home 4 of his friends to celebrate. Celebrating to 15 year old boys = food + wii games + more food!! Our daughter will be finished School next week. She is hoping to go to an art camp for 1 week this summer (a day camp), while her brother is hoping to go to a Teen Camp (over nights too). We hope to see some family and rent a friend's Cottage.

I will be turning 37 in a few weeks and will celebrate with my family and my parents. Shaun says that he will make me his famous Key Lime Pie (really, it is like a huge cheese cake...I will be sure to take pictures).

My dad is almost finished making us a stunning and gorgeous cedar strip canoe...can't wait to get it out on the Lake!

Hmmm...well that is all that I can think of that is new around here. Oh...Mom and I went Strawberry picking yesterday and just in time too. Later in the afternoon we had heavy rain and thunder and lightening storms!

Happy Summer, everyone!

H&I each picked a 1 wk camp to attend this summer to split up the being @ home with mom/dad thing...I chose the first week of August b/c it is only a 4 day week and cheaper..lol.

Amy,
Both kid's are going to camp for a week this summer. We also are going to buy a Family Pool Pass for a local pool. The kid's walk there and can swim every afternoon or evening if they want too. They can go to my parents place (they usually only go one at a time and not together), meet friends at the park, library of just stay home. They are not to have friends in to play though (my only rule). Oh...one more rule: no computer time at all. It's not even on when we are not home and it is password protected as well. They are allowed to watch movies (we don't have any tv reception here) and can play games on the Wii.

I would love to get together and lay by the poolside! :)
