Summer has arrived

School is out, the pool is open and summer has arrived.

Gabriel is helping out with the regatta this weekend.  It's a National regatta, so there are thousands more people in Oak Ridge this weekend.  (A good time to leave for the week!)  I will help out a little tomorrow. 

Anna's summer job has proven to be less than we thought.  She was to be a nanny for a family, but that family is experiencing some job slow down and isn't using her that much.  She will likely work some next week and sporadically the rest of the summer.  She takes her ACT test this week for the first time. 

Marian is reading a lot this summer and playing with friends.  We are also starting a sewing club and I will teach her and a friend how to sew (we are doing baby clothes, smaller everything...)

Will step down from my leadership in the women's ministry here and step up to lead the pro-life group.  Never a dull moment. 

Bogdan is having an easy summer at work, the beam line comes "down" each summer for necessary maintenance, so he is not on call until August 1st.  So, no midnight or 3am calls for the summer!

Our Ulster (Northern Irish) teen arrives 3 weeks from today, and Gabriel is readying his room by re-installing the bunk bed.  (Which will stay for the year when our German student arrives in August!)
