Funny how when you have the most to "say", there is no time to say it. Our life has been in fast forward again. I think that it will slow down again after this week. Maybe? So, I know that I'm leaving something out... but our summer has started with a bang! School was over for Hannah and Jack on May 21st. On the 22nd, Joey graduated from preschool. the pictures are of Joey with his class and then with his teacher, Miss Stacy (she also had Hannah and Jack) The next day we went from Report-card-pick-up (Hannah and Jack both made straight-A's) to SC for a reunion. My father-in-law's brother, and 5 sisters and their spouses visited Stimart Station. It was great to see him so happy with all of his siblings around (he's a jovial guys to begin with). This was Jack's bath before leaving SC and heading to VA to visit my sister. Her location is up-in-the-air. She is leaving for Hawaii on Friday. and not sure for how long and where she is going next. It's a long story. You can check out her blog. We arrived on Sunday night. We spent Monday at the beach. The sand up there is much darker than what we are used to. We spent most of Tuesday at the Chesapeake YMCA. It was so awesome. I got pictures to show to the new director of our Y, especially since they changing the outdoor pool. The pool was so amazing. The child area was like an indoor playland. There was even a coffee shop area. ... and the rates are the exact same as ours... ok so I am a bit envious! The plastic wrist strings signify that the kids have passed a swim test and can go down the spiral slide. We could not believe that Joseph passed the test by swimming the full length of the pool. He was so proud, and we were proud of him too! On Wednesday, we celebrated Bradley's 2nd birthday (a day early). Jack and I went on a date to see Indiana Jones that night. Hannah and I do "girl-stuff" together, and Joey spent every week day for 3 years with me, but Jack is sandwiched in the middle and doesn't often get one on one time with me. > Thursday was the "best day of (joey's) life! We went to Busch Gardens ="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212673358479728082" />> Friday and Saturday were spent in the car. We had to get home for church on Sunday and start cheerleading camp on Monday. Hannah had a blast at camp. There were about 120 girls and they chose her as one out of about 30 all-stars. She gets to cheer at a Soddy Daisy football game in the fall.

That's so great, Ruth. I didn't know there was a Busch Gardens in VA!? And even though your life has been busy, I'm impressed that you've been diligent to capture it all on film. :)
