I received a text message today. It said simply: "Your blog is boring." Boring! Please. While she is busy in her nephrology world, she takes time out in her "slammed" day to tell me our blog is boring! Sad thing is, I concur. It IS just the blog, however, that has been boring! Life still seems to flash by at lightning speed...and most of the times we don't even have the camera on hand! So Karen, I love how you look to those who are most dear to you, sitting lazily at the pool for the 100th time this summer, and miles away, to "destress" your day... this one is for you!
Summer began with Craig's scouting. He and Mike traveled down to Big Bend to hike, swim, look at stars, see the bats, and camp with his Troop. Craig is weeks away from becoming a LIFE scout on his journey to EAGLE. Like his Uncle Brad, he "spidermaned" up the mountain...7500 feet!! Amazing that with asthma and his "out of shape/summer mode" heart, he didn't hesitate on his journey up. We are so proud of his accomplishments.
Coming down...Craig is the one blazing a trail in front!
The view!

Scout camp was followed by baseball. Reed had a fun time playing "low-key" t-ball (which was hard on Dad) and Cole's team, the Lugnuts, came in 2nd in the season, and 1st in the championship tournament.

And then, recently we celebrated the 4th of July with friends and family. Annual Irving parade and swim with the Arringtons, followed by celebrating with family! Fun times.

Well I don't think your blog is boring- never have. I wish you could update a little more often, but I know that you're life moves at a very fast click with MANY things to juggle at once. So, you can only do what you can:0)
Those Big Bend pics are absolutely amazing! I can only imagine how beautiful the nights were with all those stars shinning, and no light pollution to distort the visibility.
Finally, I think the boys are very lucky to have a dad who takes interest and is so involved in their lives. It sounds cliche, but you don't see too many fathers investing the necessary time and energy into the lives of their children that Mike does.
leave it to Kar, eh? :O)
