An interesting start to summer

Summer's here and I've not been the blogger that I committed to in late April. I've been playing catch up with my life ever since I injured my neck. I'm so thankful to be back to normal!

Landon and Will finished school with terrific grades. Will will be in the 6th grade beginning in August, and Landon in the 7th. Landon was invited to an Academic luncheon for the Top 25 students with a 95% grade average or above in the middle of May. We had lunch, honored the students and heard a speech from the new 7th Grade principal for next year. I was so touched by his speech. He spoke about Christ and his walk and even commented on a few bible verses that were his favorite. That is rare that a teacher or administrator would step up and speak about God.

Also, before school let out, Landon had campaigned for the Secretary position of the Student Government against her best friend and a few other students. She finally got the news a few days before school's dismissal for the summer, that she was voted Secretary!!!! We celebrated!

Ryan graduated from the 3-K class. Graduation was so much fun to watch. They sang songs, quoted scripture and received diplomas. Afterwards, we went to one of his buddy's house and had a swim party and cook-out. I can't believe that my little Ryan will be in 4-K in August. He's really enjoying the summer. He gets to go to the library on Wednesday's and swimming on Friday's.

We also learned that his father would be getting married in June and that he would now have a stepmother and 2 step-sisters. He was very upset to learn that his dad would be leaving his apartment and moving 20+ minutes away. He was worried about his toys not going with him and that he wouldn't be so close.

So, we've had an interesting start to the summer. Landon and Will are with their father for the first two-week interval and I MISS THEM. But exciting enough, they will be getting baptized on the night they return (this Sunday). I bought them bibles as gifts to give them, to honor their obedience and commitment to Christ.

Work is busy as usual and I'm looking forward to the beach.

Enough catch-up for now.

Blessings,
