    hmmm... well I survived Zach's first class trip to Ohio.. and so did he.. the word is he had a great time as did his friends.. and while I was worried I wasn't as bad as I thought I would be about it.. it helped that some of my friends whose kids also went on the trip were also worried.. made me feel not quite so dorky about it. Other than that.. the last week of soccer is coming up next week, modified baseball over but SYI baseball has begun.. and school will be over soon I cant wait for that and having the kids around.. I miss them all day when they are at school.. I also have quite a few sessions booked too which I am looking forward too.. Cierra has her very first dance recital next weekend too.. which ought to be fun... other than that .. life is moving along.. Jim is back in school taking some summer classes and working on the roof's that needed some repair as well.. its just busy busy around here.. I havent taken too many photos lately because I have been busy editing stuff for other people.. but here are some recent stuff from the last few days
