Where did May go?

I can hardly believe that a month ago we were in TN on vacation. It seems like just a few days ago. We left in April and now it is all ready June. I think someone stole May!

Yesterday was a fun day. We had Bradon again and we took him and Tucker and had a picnic at OxBow park with some other homeschoolers. It was a beautiful day, weather wise. When we got to the park, I let Adam drive...one of the days he is actually going to get out on the road and get some real hours behind the wheel. The bigger kids played football and I took Bradon and Joel L. to the playground for a while. When we headed back I took Tucker off of his leash for a while and he bounded across the field. It is so funny to watch him run in the grass because he really doesn't run, he kind of leaps, jumps and flies. I called him back to me and he was going so fast, that he ran right into my legs. HA!

The Springers have been in Florida this week and even though they got home last night they didn't come over yesterday.

In the evening we had a Word of Life party at the Anderson's home. Mark and Marla graciously volunteered to host and end of year party at their home. The kids played games, including catching water balloons in beach towels, ate lots of food including S'Mores, sat and talk and just had a nice time. During the sharing time, it got kind of emotional, as this is a very close group of kids and a lot of them will be moving up to RUSH next year. One thing that I really think is neat with this group is that they are ALL friends, girls and guys, they hang out and just have fun together. I think much of that was/is fostered by Jill & Jared. Since they have been together since birth, it is natural for them to be together and bring all of the others kids along, no matter whether they are girls or guys.

We found out last night that we have a new baby in the church, the Bargerhuffs had their baby... a girl..whom they named Esther Rose.

Today is another busy day. Adam is taking his SAT test right now and Logan came and picked him up since they signed up to take it at the same time. Jared had a game in Edwardsburg, but this game was moved up from next week and no one told the Edwardsburg team so they didn't show up. So, that was kind of a wasted trip, but Jared and I did stop at McDs on the way home from some yogurt and hash browns. Mark was home from work by the time we got home. This afternoon we are going to Sharon Kerk's Open House and then will pick Adam up from work and go to his softball game. (He is supposed to go to work right after he gets done with his SAT. )
