Juneau is such a great dog he loves James so much. And James loves him too.

Getting ready to sleep for the night in the camper. We're spending the weekend at Blackwell. I had arranged a Cub Scout Family Camping weekend, but only two other families joined in. And, since they're both tent camping and it's raining, they both packed up Saturday morning & headed home. Not sure if they're coming back Saturday night. We're running home every once in a while ourselves, too, to take care of the dogs.

Today we launched balloons. We attached notes asking to let us know when and where they were found. We do this every year. Last year we had none returned. Other years, we have been luckier. The farthest away one has ever gone is to Canada. Two fishermen found it floating on a lake. Other places they have traveled are Michigan, Southern Illinois, Elgin, Gurnee. We've had a few go to Michigan. We chart them on a map. I think that if the balloons can make it to Lake MIchigan, then they must catch some lake winds and blow over to Michigan. It is a very fun project!

Al went to get a haircut today. She wanted to try wearing it short, but keeping her natural curl. The stylist talked her into trying it temporarily straightened with a flat iron. It's cute & fun! But, I'm looking forward to seeing the curls again some times.

This is the only picture that I got today - Jesse crossing home plate to score a run for his team. They lost anyhow. And, they all played pretty poorly. The coach made them all stay after the game and RUN!

On our way home from karate Cole wanted to stop at the splash park and run through it with his uniform on...I don't think that he thought that I would let him do it.

Today I got so much done I put lots of stuff away and I changed James bed crib set. I love his sailboat sheets and quilt.

Not a day has gone by since school let out that we haven't had extra kids hanging around our house. Not really a problem - there're kids here anyway, might as well be more of them. This is a boy from Annie & Bryce's class who lives a couple of blocks away. He & his brother are here almost every day.

This is another place that we are developing this summer - "Natureland." I let the grass grow tall, cut a path through the middle, and the kids trampled down some trails. We planted some wild flowers and are going to add birdhouses, a hummingbird feeder, a bench, and other pretty garden decorations. This will be a place where the kids can find insects to study, hopefully see some butterflies and hummingbirds, or just sit and enjoy looking at the world. Today they were chasing each other around in the tall grass, then sitting down and hiding from each other.

I volunteered at the St. Peter's food pantry today. I used to be a volunteer there before Cole was born. I have been wanting to get back into volunteering for something so I made my decision yesterday to help out to food pantry again (for the summer). This is the only picture that I took...I snapped it real quick while no one was in that part of the basement with me.

Yes! 35 years ago we were so blessed! We spent the night with Brooks (and Milo) and Miranda, Joe, and Gianni having pizza, etc. And maybe a beer...

My Dad came over and helped with the heavy stuff again. Now we have to put the rest away. It finally feels a little more normal upstairs again. I'm soo tired.
