An Abnormal, Normal Summer

Woohoo!


As I write, the girls have already been in school for a week (and all is going well, though getting back into the homework routine has its challenges). Storly's been in Haiti (for too long...ok, for two and a half weeks) and should be home in a few days. And Mum's here visiting.

First day back to school for our 3rd and 5th graders!
And I'm catching up on things, including this blog. Here's more about our abnormal, normal summer...

Heading to the airport within hours of the girls finishing school for the summer has been 'normal' for us over the last few years. But this year, instead of spending June & July in Haiti, or the U.K. (or both), we had a few weeks of regular work and preparing for travel around the U.S.A. while the girls were in vacation mode. And it was lovely. 




Fun with friends on Lake Monroe in southern Indiana is good for the soul!



"What's VBS?", Hannah and Esther both asked me, when I told them I'd signed them up for our church's Vacation Bible School. Huh??? How come my kids don't know what that is??

It turns out that we've never been here (at least while the girls have been old enough to attend) in June for the girls to be part of this great summer activity. But they got to go and be a part of the Cave Quest this year, and we have the photos stuck on our fridge to prove it.



Getting Papa with the sprinkler is good for the soul, too!
