Wow... It has been so long. I had almost given up on blogging. Life gets busy and does anyone even read this anyways? I guess I'll just use this post as a "catch up" of sorts, with the hopes of updating more regularly in the future. :) The boys are out of school for the summer. I think I was just as thrilled as they were! I can't believe that come August I will have a 5th grader, 2nd grader, and a Kindergartner!!! This will be the only time in my life that all three will be in the same school. Baseball has been consuming our lives for the last few months. Jeremiah was on the 7/8 Pirates team and did great! He played mostly 2nd base. Jonas played on the 9/10 Reds and had the privilege of Dad being the coach! This was an awesome team to watch. No one seemed to think the Reds team was capable of much. Especially by a first team coach. These boys ended up winning the Post season championship game. It was AWESOME! :) We thought the season was over until we got a call by a coach wanting Jeremiah to play on his All-star team. They are a few weeks into the season and it's been so fun to watch. Last week he hit two triples and had 5 RBI's. Way to go Jeremiah and good luck Middle Valley HEAT!
In addition to the school volunteering, and baseball games I was the program director again this year for our districts Day camp for Cub scouts. It was a fun week, but long and exhausting. I'm glad it went well, but I have to admit I am glad that it's over!!! It was great having my sister Valerie and her kids, Ian and Lacey, for the week. We had a good time and the boys seemed to enjoy it. We had 125 scouts this year! PHEW!!!
Jonas has been super busy with work. Despite a tough economy he has been fortunate enough to stay busy. We feel very blessed, as so many contractors and subs of his are out of business. I'm sad to say that a very good friend of ours, Jeff, lost his battle with brain cancer. He was Jonas' electrician, but more than that a great person and the most giving man you'd ever meet. He is survived by his wife and three daughters. Jonas was close with Jeff and we all got to be great friends with his family. Jonas was a pallbearer at his best friends funeral and he said at one time that it was the hardest thing he has ever done. I am certain he is watching over his friends and family.
After the busy and chaotic few months we have had we decided it was time for a quick trip! The kids are staying with Memaw and Papaw and Jonas and I are making a trip to Cincinnati to visit a friend, watch some baseball and just chill out for a couple days. It's not long, but it will be nice! We're really excited!!!
So I guess that's the last few months in a nutshell. I definitely need to be better about updating. I'll try harder in the future! Hope everyone is having a great summer so far!
