Summer Plans

Haven't written in a long time. KA keeps telling me to get going on our family blog but I haven't had the sense of purpose to fire it up yet. Things with Mom are going OK. She is now settled in DeSoto, Texas and the phone number is 972 298 1873. She is getting going and still unpacking. Adele is still in the house and looking to move into another place- so they are roommates- Sweet!

Mom has plans this summer of going to a camp reunion in Bandera, Texas in June and then up to Iowa to a class reunion. Many years since high school for EE- I don't know how many, but a lot. Should be quite a party. Our family is going to meet her in Iowa and Adele will travel with her. She can't travel alone at this time. Our big plan is to bury Pops ashes at their gravesite. I wanted the whole family to be a part of it as a closure issue so we are going to make that part of our summer trip. Every year we head out for a 10 to 14 day excursion and go different see areas. We've done the North West, Texas/ Oklahoma and last year we did the New England thing. This year we are going to Iowa! Yippee! We actually will then hit the Dakotas and Yellowstone and then work our way down to Colorado and see a baseball game. We StubHub'ed some tickets for July 3rd. D Backs at Rockies. Then we'll head for home.

Things are going well. Zane and Noah are plating soccer. Zane is into it- Noah is not. I think he is done with the Euro Futbol. Zane has really improved with his soccer. Other parents are even telling me this at the games. He is getting big and fast. He is almost 5'9" and wearing a size 12 shoe. Wonder where he gets that from. Noah is also playing baseball and I coach his team. We are the Astros and were a good little team. We actually play tonight. It is a lot of fun to coach and watch the kids develop. Noah will pitch a little and then anchor the team as the catcher. He is hitting the ball well from the left side of the plate. I will update accordingly.
