Okay, so I'm WAY overdue for a blog update. My sincerest apologies. We returned yesterday from a loverly ( if not way to short) trip over to Post Falls, yet again. Donald and Jen were having a little shindig for Jen's birthday, and we decided to show up. Actually, Donald asked a couple of months ago if we would plan to come over for her birthday. How could I refuse? The look on her face when she opened the door was priceless!
Things are moving along here at our normal breakneck speed. We had an excellent Spring break, a trip to Great Falls for the Montana Shepherd's Conference, which was a much needed get away to just refresh and refill with God's Spirit! We are getting to the point in the school year when things are beginning to wind to a close. Awana finishes this week and next week is our Scouts Court of Honor. Sometime near the end of May, we will have a violin/piano recital and Irish Dance will finish up for the summer. My class is almost done; there will be NO FINAL, for which I am doing the happy dance. And there are 6 more weeks of school until Memorial Day and then just two 4 day weeks of school after that, and then....SUMMER VACATION!!!
Summer promises to be very, very busy as well. Jon and I are planning our trip to England, Lucy will be leaving (for which I am NOT doing the happy dance), we are planning an Irish Dance day camp, there are summer festivals and City Band concerts and hiking the M and Baskin Robbins or DQ (maybe Big Dipper) and hiking trips and perhaps a little camping. A trip to Oregon for Celebration Northwest, and as many trips to Spokane/Post Falls as we can possibly squeeze in. Gabe will go to Scout Camp again this year; he is very excited.
Speaking of Gabe, he recently achieved his Star rank in Scouts and is now working toward Life. For those that don't know, the ranks in Scouting are Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life and Eagle. Jon and I are so proud of Gabe and his accomplishments.
So there is my "brief" update. I will be posting again soon! Sleep well, blogland.
