It's almost summer, only a few short days away, and yet its feels and looks so much like fall.  The weather, here in the mitten, has been cold for May and especially June but the mosquitos are in abundance (we're all peppered with evidence of them).  School is finally over, for me and the kiddos; we had three graduations this year.  Brett and I graduated from Baptist Bible College & Seminary in May and Brennan graduated from high school in June.  Brennan's graduation celebration brought all of our children and grandchildren home from various parts of the country, as well as a very special aunt and uncle from Texas.  We had a crazy, chaotic, fun-filled ten days with everyone.  As always the time goes by all too quickly and goodbyes are painful and tearful.  We know we are facing changes as we look forward to the summer months; moving is on the agenda, though as yet, we are not sure where or when.  As always, with this tribe, our lives are never dull or boring! Our mission is to make the best of each day serving Him!

 Truly an honor to graduate with my son!

 He did it!
