I thought I should at least explain why I haven't posted in two months. Our camera was stolen on June 15, out of our car. It was partly my fault, as I forgot to lock the car, but I'm still blaming the thieves, too! I like to post pictures along with the text, so this is why I haven't posted. We have had a busy summer, though. Here are the highlights:
June 15-June 17 -- VBS. I taught 2nd grade with my friend Callie and it was great!
June 28-July 3 -- Mountain View Christian Camp. We had a great time visiting with old friends and making new ones. Scott taught classes and the kids and I found lots to do. I even learned a new card game that I am looking forward to playing again soon!
July 7 -- Area-wide youth devotional hosted by our church, with Scott as the emcee and speaker.
July 8 -- Claire's 2nd birthday!!! Poor kid didn't get a party because of all the craziness going on, but she did get brownies and some sweet gifts!
July 9-20 -- Scott on Wilderness Trek in CO, the kids and I in Katy, to visit Nana and Grandpa. Scott got to climb one of the tallest mountains in CO, sleep in a tent and not bathe for 5 days (he he) and the kids and I got to do lots of fun things including an Astros game, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, and swim every day! The three of us came back with nice tans ;) My mom took lots of pictures while we were there, but alas, I don't have them. (Hint, hint, Mom!!)
July 21-22 -- Scott and Will went to Arlington with the youth group kids to see a Rangers game and go to Six Flags. Well, Will didn't go to Six Flags. He got to play with his pal, Raylee all day instead!
Since then, we have tried to rest! There have been a few little events here and there, but mostly we've just been working and enjoying family time.
Sorry I don't have much interesting news or pictures! Hopefully I'll have some next time!

You have been BUSY!!! So sorry to hear about your camera, though. :( That would pretty much break my heart! It does seem like you've had a great summer aside from that!!!
That is so crappy about your camera! I think your car insurance should pay for it. I would be SO upset. Glad your summer has gone well (except for the camera part).
Thanks for lamenting the camera with me. Yeah, we are pretty bummed. There are lots of things I have wanted to take pictures of this summer!! It has gone well, though. I forgot to add one really awesome thing, though. The kids have been going to sleep on their own for about 2 weeks now. I know that probably seems like a minor thing, but it has been wonderful for Scott and I, who were having to lay down with the kids and wait for them to fall asleep til leaving their rooms. Of course, we'd end up falling asleep also and wake up at about 2:00 am, stumbling to our own bed. We are thrilled that they have been doing so well (after few nights of screaming, that is!).
