- We got some home improvements done: new shades in the living/dining room, the kitchen cabinet doors are up, outdoor speakers and a new light installed on the back porch and rearranged furniture.
- Thomas watched and refereed some summer league basketball, making it seem like basketball is year-round.
- We determined that fishing is relaxing and fun. We fished some at Belton Lake but actually caught fish at Jason and Bethany's "farm" tanks.
- We visited Michele and Graham (we're sorry we missed Grady!). In one week we traveled to Atlantic City, Gettysburg, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. all with a 3 month-old in tow. We all learn a lot about hot summers and car time with the little one and had a really good time. This is a picture of us at Little Roundtop in Gettysburg.
- Thomas had a bone spur removed from his elbow and is recovering very well. So far he thinks he will be able to throw a football or a basketball without pain when he's back to full strength.
- I worked as a nurse tech and learned that as a tech, I enjoy working the 3-11 shift much better than the 7-3. I also confirmed that working with kids is what I want to do!
- Tom Daniel left for Siping, China at the end of July to study Kung Fu for 4 months. He has emailed a couple times and is really enjoying it. I found the website for the Shao lin Martial Arts Academy. He will be back around Thanksgiving and we can't wait to see the pictures and hear the stories. Siping is a smaller Chinese town of 3 million. It is in the province of Jilin (one of the orange ones), in northeast China. Here's a map of China to help see where he is:
It's been a good summer. We've had some good times with our friends and family! I will leave you with some really cute deer we saw walking around the neighborhood at Morgan's Point.
