Time Flies!

It appears time really does fly when you are having fun, or at least busy. I don't know where the last three weeks have gone. We have celebrated two birthdays, finished a swim season, produced the next show as well as all the normal stuff of work and school and home and church. Rachel swam in the 500 yard freestyle at senior high sections yesterday. She didn't do as well as she wanted to do, but we are so proud of her for making it to the section meet as an 8th grader. Jeff and I had not been able to attend the junior high section meet so were delighted we could go yesterday. We drove down to Grand Rapids, watching closely for deer both ways, and enjoyed dinner together and watching Rachel swim. We will enjoy watching her in future years as well.

Stephen celebrated his 18th birthday with a trip to Virginia Minnesota with his parents and lunch at a Chinese buffet that we all enjoy. He also went with a friend and bought a lottery ticket. (He said he had to do something that showed he was an adult.)

This morning I woke to snow falling and about 1 inch on the ground. Not much and it is expected to rain tomorrow but we are all (our family at least, and we don't say it too loudly around here as most people seem to not want snow in the winter) hoping for more snow than last winter.

It is the middle of hunting season around here and the kids have Thursday and Friday off for hunting season. It is actually because the teachers work several evenings for conferences and get the time off in one chunk for hunting.

Have a wonderful weekend.
