School's out for Summer!

Well, school's been out for a week now and it's officially summer. I ended the last day by attending a cookout hosted by one of my families. I had a great time and realized that, despite a tough year, there are things that I will miss...

1. Learning Dutch, Japanese, Indian, and other foreign words.


2. Trying to guess the many moods of my girls when they walk through the door.


3. The shock I felt when I heard bad words coming from a 6 year old!


4. Reading wonderful stories to a captive audience.


5. Hugs, hugs, and MORE HUGS!


6. Being told that I'm beautiful on my worst of days.


7. The encouragement & support of my wonderful families.


8. Breakfast at meetings with my Team.

and many more!

Back to Bean Town!

We finally made it back to Lima, Ohio to visit my in-laws! Nick enjoyed playing golf with his Dad. After getting a workout in, Barb and I spent some time in the kitchen cooking and talking about anything and everything. We also got to visit with the grandparents. Before we left, we had our routine lunch from the famous Kewpee restaurant.

Thanks for a great weekend!
