The Summer Wind

Over the course of last week, I was dubbed ‘the deberazzi’. The camera has been following those girls everywhere as we only get to see them for short periods of time nowadays.


Naomi and Kristy pose in the kitchen before their little outing. Naomi is a triplet and when her other two sisters (Sarah and Elizabeth) are here, I have such a difficult time telling them all apart. Naomi is such a sweet gal and is always welcome in our home. Naomi also won some points as she showed up sporting a ‘Michigan State’ shirt. For anyone that doesn’t know, that’s where Kristy goes to college. It’s so hard to believe Kristy’s already a Junior.

Lauren, Kristy, Arianne and Naomi

These girls are all set to go over to the Waffle House late one evening last week. Arianne is a little more outgoing with such an infectious laughter. She’s quite bubbly and adds such a bright spot in our lives. We really enjoy catching up with Kristy when she’s home and also look forward to seeing her close friends from home too.

The house is a little more quite now that Kristy’s gone and Lauren has started to sink into her books and all the reading material that she brought from home. By the looks from the box of books, it looks like a miniature library in her room. Bobby’s going to be moving a nice bookcase into her room to accommodate her. She also plans to study while she’s here to prepare for testing to see what classes that she can test out of.

Lauren and her dad plan to do some daddy/daughter stuff and one of those things discussed last night was the ‘tango’. Lockheed Martin Recreation Association (LMRA) offers numerous evening dance classes but the tango is the one that tickles our Little Miss Lauren’s fancy. That should be so much fun for them.

There are some days that I feel like I’m flying by the seat of my pants and the winds can change depending on everyone’s schedule. I “think” we are going to post pone our trip to Alaska until July. We want to spend as much time with Lauren as we can so I believe those changes are in the works. Otherwise, we will be leaving next Friday (the 26th) and I don’t feel prepared at all. This summer is all about going with the flow and that suits me just fine.
