We are only 1 month from school starting again. It is hard to believe that summer is closing up so fast. The kids really do need to be out until at least Labor Day – oh well.

We are in cruise mode now. The past week was a typical week around here.

Lisa and I took the boys to the pool a few different times. It is nice to stop by after work and play in the water with Daniel and David for a couple of hours.

Allison continues to work and swim. She was in another swim meet this last weekend. She is now busy preparing for the State Championships in E’Town next weekend. She is qualified in 5 events.

Daniel completed his camping merit badge in boy scouts. His troop went camping at Cumperland Gap. This last trip required the boys to carry their packs over a 1000 foot elevation change and camp overnight. They had been working on this, so it was a piece of cake for them. This summer, Daniel has been doing a lot of camping.

Lisa and I are still mostly a shuttle service – although Allison seems to be doing most of the driving now.

Hope everyone is have a safe and blessed summer.
