Summer has begun!

Finally, the girls are out of school, and our summer can finally begin. Between camping trips to New York and other soon-to-be-named places, we'll be attending soccer camp, going to teacher workshops (U.P. and Minneapolis), we're going to have the basement redone due to the recent power outage (I refuse to call it a blackout b/c there's only 1 blackout, and that was the one in August 2003 that blacked out the whole Northeast). Our backup system failed and so now while Addy and Karen are gone at their respective camps, I'm going to be boxing up books abd throwing even more stuff away.
And, one of the best things that happens in the next few weeks is that we'll be picking out our next new puppy - Izzy Grace. But that deserves its own new entry with pictures and writing too.
