MIA

I have been SO busy that I haven't had any computer time. We have visited with many family and friends. I got to see my friend, Rebecca from high school that I probably hadn't seen in like 8 years and her two kiddos! That was a good time. I also saw an old college roommate and her two girls. We have seen most of our family now, but have yet to see my dad. One of these days we'll make it there.

We had a good 4th of July. Took the kids to the parade in Baraga and they got to see Grandpa Larry marching for the Legion. Then we went to the campground where Aunty Cindy was camping and had a fun time. Another U.P. thing occurred that day- it was about 100 degrees at the parade and about 2-3 hours later the temperature dropped 40 degrees and it was only like 60! It got so cool we could see our breath! We were going to watch the fireworks but H & J were so tired they just wanted to come home and sleep. So, we watched about 2 and drove off:)

The weather has been messing with my sinuses and allergies. I feel like I've been coughing since before we came up here! I think today the kiddos will finally be able to swim in the little pool I bought them. It is a hot one. Speaking of weather, hurricane Dennis is on the move. Zach will have to go and stay in a shelter tonight. At least it looks like it will be east of us. I just feel SO bad for those people in Pensacola as it looks like they'll get hit AGAIN! That is the only thing I hate about the south is the hurricanes.

I am really looking forward to when he can come up and vacation with us. Although coming home isn't much of a vacation when you gotta try and squeeze everybody in for a visit in a limited time. I also can't wait to go back home- to my own home. I am hoping that it is intact and clean when I get back:) I'm hoping maybe we'll drive through lower Michigan so we can stop and see some family along the way. I'd love to meet our nephew when he arrives!

Anyway, just a quick update...It will be nice when life returns to normal in Mississippi in August!
