Almost SummerTime

We all had a great time in Virginia, and now I am getting ready for our big event - Stephanie's HS Graduation and Brian's 8th grade graduation !!

Stephanie is taking some AP exams this week & next - hopefully, after all that, the work is over - just Prom, Graduation, & Summer Time !! We'll be driving her out to St Louis on Aug 20. The challenge is to fit everything in the minivan - which is probably equal in volume to her half of a dorm room !!

Brian is looking forward to lots of camp this summer - he's attending a CTY camp in PaleoBiology at Franklin & Marshall College, a 1 week church service project, as well as Y Camp at Speers-Eljabar. And a new one this year - he will be in Band Camp with Erica the last 2 week of August.

Erica is having a great year with Marching Band, Jazz Band & Key Club. This summer she'll be working as a Camp Counsellor at the local Girl Scout Camp. She's taking a week off to go on the church mission trip. Also, she'll be "Sweet 16" in July - she'll get her permit, & we'll spend some time cruisin'. She's looking forward to returning to Band & School as an upperclass Junior !!

Last year we had a great time travelling to Rome, Venice & Yellowstone - this year we're staying closer to home. After school is out we're camping at Assateague for a few days with a bunch of friends. Then it's a relaxing summer at home - quilting, local beaches, cleaning out the Aegean Stables (aka the basement).

I really enjoyed spending time with everyone !!

Love,
Laura

I hope you have a BIG calendar so you can keep track of "where your children are."

VA was great. It was such fun having the family together. Wish we could do it more often.
