Summer Update #1

  This summer has been a good one already, and we are only half way through with it. It's going by way to fast, but we are definitely making the most of it.
  Chris started us out with a bang by having back surgery, which by the way he is recovering "supernaturally".
   Eli has conquered a couple of milestones this summer. So far he has already learned to swim well without floaties above and under water. He jumps in at both the shallow and deep end without assistance, and can also go all the way to the bottom at either end to pick things up. He is pretty pleased with himself over these "big boy" accomplishments.  He has ALSO learned to ride his bicycle without training wheels.  He learned a bonus lesson on the second day. . . ALWAYS WEAR SHOES WHILE RIDING A BIKE. . . Long story, but I'm sure he'd love to tell it if anyone is brave enough to ask him. (:
  Shaylin went to her very first week at church camp. They went to Dry Gulch and she loved it. From hearing her talk she had a good time and made a couple of new friends there as well. She also went to her very first Airedalette basketball camp this summer and is planning on going to art camp in a couple weeks as well.
   I, myself, have managed to keep the house clean for more than an afternoon at a time. Listen, if you know me, you know that is a BIG DEAL.
   Our family as a whole as made a couple of outdoor camping trips and we are coping with the heat by doing lots of swimming. Not to mention we have made several emergency ice cream runs. ;) 
   All in all we are having a blast just being and enjoying US.        Let the good times roll.
