I guess it's about time I brought ya'll up to date....
We had a wonderful visit with Grampy & Grammy from June 15-21. They are now safely home in Louisiana.
I had a long awaited package arrive in the mail on Monday...my psaltery!! For those of you who don't know what a psaltery is, don't feel bad! I just learned about it for the first time in March. A psaltery is a really easy-to-play musical instrument. How easy? Well, I took it with me baby sitting the other day and by the end of an hour and a half Josh (5y) could play over half of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," Ali (8y) could play "Silent Night" & Jeromy (9y) had a good start on "Joy To The World!" They had never even seen one until I showed them! If you want to know what a psaltery looks like you can see pictures HERE
This week has been full of packing! We are leaving today for a weekend trip to Vermont to visit my Grammy and a few of the many aunts, uncles and cousins on my Mom's side of the family. We plan to arrive back home in the wee hours of the morning on Monday, July 5. Then I have to unpack, do laundry and repack by 10 am when Andrew & I are going for a week of camp at Windcrest. I am really looking forward to that! It is hard to believe that this will be my last year as a camper.
So that is what I have been up to this week. After camp (yes, I am procrastinating again!) I plan to do some picture updates of the last few months, starting with the long awaited pictures of my trip to Louisiana in March (thanks for your patience, Mariah!), then moving on to pictures of my Dad's 50th party, Grammy's hospital stay & recovery, as well as pictures we took of their visit here. I will also post a picture of my psaltery.
Until later...
