Ok, we've managed to get a lot done in the house. I'm very grateful to have a functioning kitchen, and books unpacked so I can plan for next year. whew. I still have a lot of odds and ends to sort through before my mom arrives on July 12th, but it is definitely doable.

Gavin has been helpful with getting stuff taken care of. He has found Animal Planet, and is excited about the next episode of Meerkat Manor. Sheesh they make a soap opera about animals, and he's hooked after watching it once. *lol*

DH and Colton are still at Philmont. Hopefully they are havbing a great bonding experience.

Derek is doing OK... life is really rough for him, so all prayers for him, the other marines and soldiers, and innocent civilians are appreciated.
