Summer 2010

Can't believe it is already summer vacation time. Don't get me wrong, I was glad to be done with school, just when you feel like it will never end it ends and now it seems like the vacation time is going very quickly.

Looking forward to some lazy days of visiting with family. Missed a fun time today and I do not want to miss anymore. I treasure those times with family.

Michaela is getting ready to head to Camp Rivercrest outside of Fremont on Sunday, her first time at camp and being away from us for a whole week, by herself. She is excited to be going, I am hoping that is the way it stays. She is doing better, her anxiety is getting better which is a good thing. She is seeing a nutritionist to help her know what is good for her to eat and how much she is suppose to eat. I think she is a little overwhelmed by what is expected of her right now. But she is also very close to that number that I told her was unacceptable and wouldn't hesitate to act on it. The nutritionist also told her today she can not drop any further or really doesn't want her to stay the same, she wants her weight up by the next time she sees her or her choices were no longer going to be choices. We are hoping this will work, our whole family is trying to be more consciences of what we are eating and making sure we are having several food groups at every meal.

Michaela got confirmed on Sunday May 30 at our church in Hallam. She was very happy about this. It has been so fun to watch her grow in her relationship with God and her renewed interest in the church. I think these camps will be good for her too. She has become a beautiful young lady and we are very proud of the young woman she is/has become.

Mr. Marcus is just a character. He thinks his birthday is tomorrow everyday. On Confirmation Sunday he was running around with the Toy-R-Us ad showing it to everyone who would listen to him. He was showing them a talking grill which he thinks he needs. He would go up to people and say, "Hey, can I show you something?" It was way too funny. Now he is on some loader truck, man got to love it when they get old enough to ask for everything. The best one this week was he was man at us because Toy Story 3 was not out yet. It was suppose to be out now, when he wanted to see it.

He will be going to preschool at Norris in the fall as a peer model, he is excited about that, he wants to go tomorrow to that too. His time concept is terrible, but what 3 year olds isn't. He is excited to be turning 4 soon and going to school.

Steve and I are doing ok, we are busy with the kids. Steve has been working lots of hours so it has been hard to plan a vacation of any sort. I am hoping I can get him to sit and commit to something here when Michaela is done with one camp and before the next. Would love to get to Minnesota to see Kristal and Ryan, but do not know if that is going to happen yet.

Hope everyone has a great summer, enjoy yourselves.
Love to all!
