Summer Happenings

I haven't posted much this summer so I thought I would bring you a few highlights. First we have Mike celebrating Independence Day with his super festive red-white-AND-blue tie ensemble. It was the talk of the Sunday School.

This summer James discovered "The Magic Treehouse" book series. Here he is with Ellen, playing Jack and Annie, in a reinactment of Afternoon on the Amazon. I have to say he looks pretty handsome in those specs.
Here is Sophia at her second swim meet against Riverside Country Club. She did a great job, and was true to herself in that despite the outside sunshine and high temperature...she was cold.

James celebrated his SEVENTH birthday this July. Here he is blowing out the candles of his Heli-pad birthday cake. Special thanks to Angie for finishing the cake and hosting the party. Unfortunately I missed everything because I was sick. LAME-OH!
Not pictured is Anna, who went to girls camp for the first time and LOVED it. She hasn't stopped singing camp songs since she got home.
As for me, if I could picture myself it would be in front of the computer...doing homework. Yes, I am in school again; I am on the 15 year plan. Maybe I'll actually finish this time. Maybe.

I think James was a little too excited about his birthday cake. He sure had a hard time blowing out those candles. LOL

Mike looks like a dweeb with two ties on.
