June 30

As I look at the calendar this morning, I realize that our summer is almost over!  WHAT!  How can that happen?  Our schools end on May 27.  A mere month ago!  Where does the time go?  The girls start band camp July 18 for two weeks, they have a week in between, then on August 8, M will start her senior year.  C will be a freshmen!  Time just flies!

July 10, C will be attending a mission trip with our church.  She really wanted to go.  She knows a few of the teens that are going but not "friends' with them.  I am so  proud of her that she is going and really wants to go.  It will be hard dirty work.  She will come back a different girl-more of a giving heart.  She already has a giving heart but I believe this experience will change her.

M is looking at colleges seriously now.  She wants to go take a look at North Georgia and Lenoir Ryne in NC.  Her first choice is Mercer but she is starting to rethink that one.  If any of my readers have teenage seniors, please let me know what you are going through. 

This weekend, we will party.  On Friday, my little friend, MK will be coming with her family to swim along with 2 other families that we are friendly with.  I am really looking forward to seeing my little MK.  She is stinking adorable.  Saturday, we are heading to L and E house for an early 4th celebration-looking forward to visiting with them.  Sunday, one of my preschool families will be joining us here to swim and I went ahead and invited 2 other families to join us.  I have been telling them, I will be inviting them over to swim.  Monday is our annual 4th of July party that we host.  This year, we are doing simple!  I always go way overboard with the food-with J and his unemployment issues this year, and me not getting a paycheck during the summer, we are going simple!  To begin our fun filled weekend, tonight we are meeting some friend at the local racetrack to watch the races , then one of the best fireworks show! 

June 30 is today-today also marks the first time M walked by herself.  You ask, how do I remember something like this-let me tell you-Joe N birthday is today-he used to rent our apartment and M just loved him-he was coming home and M saw him and got up and "ran" to him-we all sat there in amazement-she was only 81/2 months old.  She has been on the go ever since.  Happy Birthday JOE!!

The Casey Anthony trial has really taken some strange turns.  Did she or didn't she kill her own daughter?  To tell you the truth, I am undecided on whether or not she did it.  To listen to all the family members talk, they are all disfunctional.  There are so many questions, that twitsts and turns in this trial.  The defense is certainly putting the down the path of the jury finding her not guilty.  CRAZY!

Enjoy your last day of June, 2011!
