Things have Finally slowed down

We did a unit "we miss you" spot to be shown on AFN (American Forces Network) and this is a picture we had taken of us that day to send to Daddy as well. The balloons the kids were holding were red, white, and blue, but as you can see they had trouble getting them in the picture.

We survived all of our busyness. It actually ended up being better than I expected. I love when I have people around me who really care and help out. On Friday, Brendan's baseball coach--who is also a friend of ours--called me and asked if Brendan could spend the night at their house and he would take him to his game on Saturday morning! No turning that down! I went to his game (ok a bit late, but he had 2) and then he continued on with the coach to the pool for a team party. Finally, the coach called again and asked to keep him one more night and they would take him to Mass on Sunday. (we went Sat. night) Brendan finally got home around noon on Sunday AND he served Mass--he had never done that before! Now I know what he will be doing frequently.

Katie's dance recital went really well. It is so much more laid back here than the BIG productions we had in Brainerd.

We ended up not going swimming at the Villa--we were disappointed, but there was the threat of rain so the Italian who owned the Villa cancelled us. They just seem so overly cautious with the weather. No it didn't rain by the way.

Finally, was the cub scout pool party which was a lot of fun. I had to drag the kids away from the pool after 3 hours. You wouldn't think summer was going to be here in 1 1/2 days and they will be going almost daily. I swear I have a school of fish.

Anyway, here are a couple of pictures of baseball. And there are also just a couple of pictures of the kids being cute. I would love to put up a picture of the recital, but all I have is video and I don't know how to post that on here. Sorry.
