Stuff that's happened in July...

July has blown by. We did get our algae under control in the pool, so we all returned to the water.


Zane has taken over a huge part of the mowing duties around the house. He's learning the trade this year and working for money next year.


OK... we had a most unfortunate series of decisions occur on the part of our boys, leaving them unable to get along with each other. After figuring out they had too much time on their hands with nothing constructive to do, we put them to work TOGETHER washing the picket fence. And we're thinking that Zack is Tom and Zane is Huck. At least that's how is seemed to play out on this day!


Summer Bible Study is always a highlight of my summer. These are most of the chickies in the study I got to be in this year. We had just finished our wrap up dinner. We missed our friends who couldn't make it, but we had a really sweet time wrapping up our study of Mary Kassian's Conversation Peace.


Six weeks after Kelsey got her wisdom teeth pulled, Zack had a turn in the extraction chair. Two uncooperative baby teeth landed him a visit with Dr. Don. With a quivering lip and an "It hurt," he hobbled home to recover. Later that day he announced, "I didn't think any of it was funny." "What?" "That laughing gas. It didn't work because I didn't think any of getting my teeth pulled was funny." So noted.


And wrapping up the middle part of July, Kelsey spent a week at volleyball camp. I looked for a picture of her actually playing volleyball, but all I could find were photos of her and her teammates climbing on furniture and dancing.
