First Communion, April 2

Here is the only picture on this laptop of First Communion. We have many, many others. See issue in post below to find out why they aren't here.

Godmother Kricky, this is for you.

Life

Who truly has time for this? I am somewhat disappointed that Mike and I have not kept this blog up. I have picture after picture of some really powerful spiritual and athletic moments that have happended recently in our family and not a clue how to get them from camera to computer. Well, that isn't all true. I know how to IF they are stored on the little camera storage disc. But then, that requires the little dealy that the storage disc goes into...and who knows where that is!!! I very quickly, as this lapse in time shows, go to "I'm done"...before I even start. :) Weak, maybe, but true.

Our lives this summer have been filled with pool, golf, religion online class, baseball, scouts, girlfriends, World Cup, lacrosse, friends, sleeping in, and a little bit of school. Still working on the house...which I have a great "new" picture of that I'll get up someday. Larry did an amazing job which you will see when I get the pictures loaded!! Now, Mike and David are redoing the master shower because we had our THIRD (in 11 years) shower pan leak just as Larry was finishing his work! :(

We are counting the days to our return PHX trip...it's been TEN years! Crazy. And, somehow, someway, I want to journey to introduce my precious new, well not-so-new really, niece, Ellis, to our boys. Mike and I had a blast meeting her and surprising Karen back in January, and are anxious about getting the boys to meet her!!

All in all, God is so very good. He is so forgiving of and patient with us....as we still struggle from day to day trying to figure out how to best lift one another to the Light.
