summer storms

Where did May go? I apologize for not posting anything last month! May was Matt's first month of night shift, so it was a challenging time for all of us. Matt would work Sunday night through Thursday night every week (on-call at 5 or 6 p.m. and then go into the hospital by 11 p.m., work until at least 8 or 9 or 10 a.m. and then come home to sleep). He did have Friday and Saturday nights off, but it was hard to keep up same sleeping schedule. He'll have it again in August.

School is out now (Adam passed kindergarten. Yea!). We made a cake to celebrate his "graduating" (there wasn't a ceremony, but Adam used that word), letting Adam do the decorating [green frosting and oreos--incredible hulk]. And we took the kids out to eat at none other than their choice--Taco Bell. We were okay with that since it's on the lower side of expenses.

The summer storms have begun. Just about every day this past week, we've had a rain/severe thunder storm-- also tornado watch, flood watch, etc. We even got caught in some hail the other day; it was very loud hitting the top of the minivan. The hail was about the size of "globe" grapes, in my opinion.

Another change--we have a new primary presidency, in which I'm still the secretary. Lots of adjustments. Some of our teachers have been called elsewhere, including the one who became the president. So we have to figure out who to call to fill the positions.

And baby is right on schedule measuring at 28+ weeks. I'm still waiting for the next ultrasound in a couple weeks to confirm the gender. I feel tired often and as big as ever, but pretty good overall. I'm hoping that I can still enjoy our Aspen Grove trip next month! We're very excited for the family camp experience, especially now that the kids are a bit older (better able to enjoy it) since the last time we went in 2004.

I'll post some new photos soon!
