As for the rest of the family,here is a rundown of what everyone has been up to:
Garrett is working in Dallas this summer installing security systems. We enjoyed visiting with him also.
Danielle is in Hawaii for 2 months staying with her roommate, Kanani and her family. She is working at a couple of life guarding jobs and having a great time. We're not sure we will be able to get her to come back to real life at the end of August.
Seth has been in and out doing his summer activities. He attended scout camp and is also working on his Eagle project. This week he is in Boston visiting Uncle Mack, Aunt Rhonda and Ryan.
Jed and I have been having some "empty nest" practice. It's pretty fun and when it is our life "for real" I think we can handle it just fine as long as we get plenty of chances to visit the kids. Our blackberries and peaches have done great this year. Some how both must know that we are ready to take them out and be done with it so they are going overboard to make us feel guilty!
