Week 2

The first week of summer vacation was pretty uneventful.  Time was spent cleaning and the boys and I getting used to being "together" all day.  Hopefully, we get used to it before the baby arrives.  After spending some time in our rooms each day...we also were busy playing playdoh, waterpainting, pizza lunch at the park, baseball practices, trips to the library, and jumping on the trapoline with the sprinkler!!!!  Not too bad of a start for the summer...hopefully this week the weather will cooperate more. 
We were also lucky to have our family friend and old babysitter, Megan, visit us for the weekend.  We had a good time just laying around and shopping.  We hope that she and the rest of the Ludwig Fam can come see us soon...or maybe we can make it down to Kansas to see them. We also spent some time at the Painter household in Bassett, Nebraska.  Seeing good friends and bidding Vicy, the German exchange student, goodbye. 
Memorial Day was actually pretty EVENTFUL!  Huge storms blew in at around 5:00 PM, right about the time that baseball was beginning.  Tornadoes, sirens, 3 trips to the basement, lots of rain, and pea sized hail were the evening entertainment.  On top of all that...our dear friends Case and Kelsi...and their families, were being escorted to the basement of the hospital while they were awaiting the arrival of the new baby!!  Labor went all night long.  I am happy to announce that Baby Stetson was born early this AM and all is well.  Congrats to the Gabel Family...we can't wait to see that lil booger!!! 
I also want to say thanks to all the service men and women who are currently serving or served our great counrty.  And thanks to their families as well....you are so brave....
Below are some pics of the week:
