Summer posting

It's been a while since I posted! This summer has just taken over my life and I want some control back!!! We've had far too many things brewing here....a little recap.

Andrew was attending summer practices with the high school basketball team. It was a great experience for him in playing time and getting to know some plays and the coaches. We're hoping it helps him come tryout time! Since that was four days a week, two hours a day I needed to find something for the other three to do. We've been going to the library on Mondays, bowling on Tuesdays, the free movies on Wednesdays, and to the beach on Thursdays. In between all of that we've done chiropractic appointments (Braden has been suffering from headaches since developing mono), orthodontists, piano, etc. It's amazing how difficult it is to have any consisitency or productivity in life when your day is constantly cut up into segments.

Andrew had the opportunity to go to Denver for TSA nationals. Matt's sister, Sara, was kind enough to pick him up at the airport so he could go to church and hang out with them on the day they flew in. He enjoyed being with them and it made a nice connection for the upcoming family reunion. He had a great experience at nationals. Three of his four projects had top 10 finishes, with one taking 2nd. Overall their team had 24 top ten finishes and 12 top three! According to their calculations, that would make them the top middle school in the nation! We're really glad he was able to have the opportunity to go.

Matt and Andrew are off to scout camp for eight days so I'm hoping we can calm down a bit! That's very highly unlikely knowing us, but maybe just a bit more down time! After all, we have a family reunion to get ready for!!
