May and June Details.....

Morgan completed her Sophmore year of H.S. and enjoyed the bliss of completing "Geometry!" She worked at understanding, learning, and reviewing throughout many nights to meet the expectations of her Geometry teacher. She survived the class and passed because of her willingness not to give up! We are extremely proud of her "Good Student" standing which will support her as she takes on her new responsibilities as a 16 year old driver. She celebrated her big day with driving to Lincoln twice. She went to Carlos O'Kelly's for lunch, drove home, and then met us back in Lincoln for supper at the Olive Garden. Now, she is babysitting 3 kids under 8, driving Chase around, and enjoying the freedom of a car.

Chase completed his 5th grade year at St. John, and is enjoying his days off mowing, playing x-box 360, and playing baseball. He plays on the weekend for a traveling team called SWARM. Then through the week he travels to nearby towns with the City Rec Team. He LOVES to play ball. At the end of May he played in a bowling tournament and placed 2nd. He was so excited to win more money to be set aside for his education. Now, he is bowling once a week on a summer team with another boy. He was wounded for about a week at the end of May when he slammed his hand in the car door. We were scared that it was broken, but he was very lucky. He has about 2 more weeks of ball and then he is done for the season.

June has been interesting with me ending my 2 year position at the Behavioral Skills Program for Lincoln Public Schools. The students and staff was one of my most memorable experiences ever! A big slot in my heart will always exist for the relationships that were developed at that particular learning environment. It is awesome how God makes your realize the importance of what you need to do even when he takes you down a path that you never expected! I have now started working at the Dawes Middle School for LPS. I will be working with 6th graders and as a team leader. We are starting with a new staff; thus, the work ahead is going to be unbelievable and another new adventure.

Last week, was a major feat for Mike and I. We took the family and headed to Estes Park for our 20th anniversary! It was WONDERFUL! (I'm going to repeat that statement.) It was WONDERFUL! We have now figured out though that vacation means driving the Tahoe for comfort and having 2 rooms at the motel.

Mike will soon be starting some County Fairs after his 4th of July weekend. He is celebrating his 30th class reunion and will be waving his way through the streets of Seward on the 4th. We have many open dates so please continue to share Mike's talents with anyone and everyone you know!
