What in the World?!

So, I was just getting going again with my blogging and then I am out of commission for over a week!  What is up with that?!  I can't even really blame it on being busy although we have had a few more activities going on this past week including (but not limited to):

* Mourning the loss of our butterfly friend

* On June 22, I got the new Karen Kingsbury book (it came out on June 21) but I had just started a new book on June 21.  I spent extra time reading to finish the first book (completed midday June 23) so I could start the Karen Kingsbury book (immediately following) and finished it June 24 ... which was just in time to ...

* Pack for our weekend Family Camp outting at Camp Lutherhaven which we left for on Friday and returned on Sunday.  Pictures (of some of the fun) included here:

We went to this camp together as kids!

* Kids have been going to Vacation Bible School this week during the mornings.  (I get to lead crafts on Friday--yea for me!)

* Rachel and Cole started t-ball this week; their first "game" was today.

This weekend we will be hosting guests on Sunday and next week I think I will be taking the kids for a quick visit to my grandparents.  Rob is done with football camps as of today, so now he will just have to take care of his own football players which lightens his load considerably.  We are looking forward to spending more time with him!
