Summer is here?! Random thoughts...

I have no idea where the time has gone since early April. Spring is gone and summer is here! I thought after hockey was done in March we'd have all sorts of free time. In reality, it was just the opposite. With both kids playing ball and Allison still doing dance we actually were more busy! But that's about to change (I think). The kids are both a year older now (10 and 7). The Wings lost in the cup finals (but secretly, Nathan is excited because Dan Bylsma - the Penguins head coach - is running a hockey camp this summer that Nate is attending). Allison and Nathan just wrapped up softball/baseball last week. I started my softball league with some guys from work. And we even built a 10'x5' box garden at home in the back yard. I'll have to post a picture sometime. It's growing very well. We've got some lettuce, spinach, brocolli, tomatoes, beans, cukes, peppers, etc. We haven't had a garden since our house on Fuller about 9 years ago.

We haven't been able to get up north as much as we'd like but we have been able to get some yard work done around the house so it looks pretty nice. We're travelling to Des Moines, Iowa this weekend for Allison's National dance competition. Now, it's getting very nice out and staying light until 10pm. We'll have to take full advantage and enjoying the outdoors until the madness begins again in September.
