Summer so far






Six weeks into summer break and so far so good. I am so lucky in that I am able to arrange my work schedule to accommodate my family's needs so I am working two days a week and then I get in the rest of time either in the evening or weekend when Mike is with Evan. That gives me 3 days a week with Evan which is nice. Yes, we have gotten on each other's nerves at times but all in all, we're having fun. He is all about the Titanic so we made sure we went to COSI and saw the Titanic exhibit. He was in heaven! We all had a good time. Next week we're taking a somewhat spontaneous trip to NY and Ontario. There is a Harry Potter exhibit at the Ontario Science Centre and we thought about it and decided we HAD to go because yes, Evan is also in Harry. So, we're heading up to East Aurora on Thursday to spend time with my cousin Sue and then to the falls Friday where we will spend the night then to Toronto on Saturday! I am so excited! I think I it's because we usually take vacation in June/July and our big trip to Oregon isn't until next month. I'm getting restless!

Jay's 50th



A pic from the 70's-me, Diane, Dave, Liz, Jay and John

The Baseys and the Baddys

It's official. My two siblings are now both in their 50s. How did that happen? We had the best time Saturday night at Jay's birthday party. Cousins Bob, Diane and Tammis had planned to be in Ohio for the weekend to see John and Dave, so it was fun that they were all able to come to the party. It was just the perfect evening. We laughed so much, ate too much and just had one of those nights that I won't forget for a long time. I love my family. :-)

The end of 3rd grade





Hard to believe we are at the end of yet another school year. Evan had a great year in 3rd grade. He made honor roll all four grading periods again and was awarded a trophy at today's awards ceremony. He also got a trophy for Colerain's win in the Battle of the Books. He was very proud of himself and of course, I am extremely proud of him as well! He brought home his poetry journal today and this is the first time I've read his work. Wow. I was pretty impressed. If you click on the photo, you can see them better. Of course he has to mention the fact that we get mad at him sometimes!! Oh well. I'm not perfect and he's not perfect either and we do butt heads from time to time!
