Family Update

Update on our family:

Dan is providing for our family at his full time job. When he isn't there he is working around the house and keeping "stuff" working. He took the girls to the Blue Angels show earlier this month and is cycling regularly-either on the road or on his father's day gift--trainer.

Kristen is working full time and preparing for a new semester this fall at the local college. She is on her own and enjoying herself very much. We are super proud of her accomplishments. She doesn't think she will be deported with the Army this year and we're happy about this.

Katelin enjoyed her USNSCC firefighting summer training at Camp Perry in Ohio. She has turned in an application at the local volunteer department; waiting to hear can be a bore. She and her friends have spent many hours tubing down Coldwater Creek this summer; she is working on her petty officer 1st class assignment (USNSCC) and should go up in rank next month. Kate will apply to Texas A&M this fall.

Emma is so excited about summer she doesn't want it to end. She spent two weeks at Ft. Benning doing public affairs training and wants to visit her grandparents soon. She loves to hike and spend time outdoors with the family.

As for me I am enjoying working in the garden, playing with the chickens and putting up veggies as well as hiking and picking blueberries. However, I am SOOO looking forward to fall!
