I have reached a mile stone in my life. Our first child graduated from high school this year and will be leaving in the fall for Western Washington University. Wow!! I have very mixed emotions about this.....happy that our son will be experiencing new and wonderful things, but sad that he will be experiencing those things without us. He has a very busy summer including a mission trip to Costa Rica and a trip to Japan with his grandparents.

Our second mile stone is that our youngest will be entering high school next year....YIKES!! She is already very busy with the high school dance team that has started practicing for the fall football games and band competitions. She just returned from Virginia where she attended a mission based church camp. What a wonderful time she had with her friend Katy!! They have made this camp a tradition....attending the camp together for the past four years.

I hope you are having a wonderful and relaxing summer!
