Long Time No Blog

So much has happened since last I blogged. Graduation, Mother's Day, Baseball/Soccer Season, end of School, and a trip to the beach. I will not try to fill you in on all the details of these events but will only touch on the highlights. Sara and Samuel both graduated from college. What a proud moment for all! After perservering for 10 years of classes here and there, Sara completed her degree while being a wife and mother of four very active children. Samuel graduated with honors(only 1 B in all four years) and top business student in his class while maintaining a very successful soccer career. Mother's Day was wonderful with all the children here to help celebrate and another delicious meal prepared by Chef Ryan. I finished school on Thursday, the boys had their baseball trophy presentation on Saturday and Sara, the kids and I headed to sunny Florida to celebrate the end of school. The water and the beach were beautiful as always. We were blessed to be the trial guest at my sister's beach house which was fabulous! Thanks Ma, Papa and Auntie. We really had a wonderful time! We also got to take a boat ride on Jon's Sea Blaster and the boys got to go fishing with Judah on the Destin Princess. Thanks Jon and Judah. The kids enjoyed playing with their cousins who were able to play hookie on Tuesday. We finished our week visiting with Ma, Papa, Aunt Sarah, Cheri, Jim and Ethan. We returned to Summer's on Friday where I was able to work with Luke on some paper work. We had a delicious meal at the Japanese place close to Summer's. I then got to spend some time with the girls shopping and yard saling the next day. To top off the day we all (Luke, Summer and Sara and I) ate at my favorite place, Marlow's. Missed Samuel being with us but it won't be long before he will be back home. Sounds like he is having a great time in some Portugal fishing villages. Looks like the summer will be a busy one as usual. Sara is getting things ready for her trip to Ukraine and I will soon start packing for Deep Creek. Until next time...
