Summer's here

Time for late summer nights, bike riding, and hanging out on the cul-de-sac until the sun goes down.

Pathetic!

Or choose one of these words:  sad, feeble, inadequate, lamentable, paltry.  Take your pick, because they all describe my blogging efforts as of late.  There's almost been a 2 month gap!  So here's the last 8 weeks in a nutshell.

• Dusty and I attended a wonderful Compassion Advocate's conference in Chicago.  Came away inspired and ready to do something big...more on that later.
• Rachel was an Eagle MVP student for the 4th quarter
• Aaron finished his first year of high school and is now heavily lobbying for driver's ed
• Rachel was one of the class winners and participated in the 2nd grade spelling bee
• Dusty continues to work like a madman
• Rachel turned 8 and got her ears pierced
• We completed another year of Awana
