The week following the 4th was filled with cousins, food, and fun. There was even a balloon launch at the park one morning. Even without reservations, the kids all managed to go up. On the 12th I dropped the Hastings at the airport and they are now in Virginia. On the 13th I dropped Katy at the airport and she flew to NY to spend some time with the Michael Gibbs family. I know they have been to Massachusetts and today she is in NYC for a matinee of Promises, Promises and some lunch at Pret. Beyond that I'm not sure what all she has done.
This has been a fun and busy month with the family here. It is good to have Phillip and family back; they returned from Hawaii yesterday (another airport run through I 15 construction). I have been teaching, doing text-revision stuff, as well as creating a whole series of Powerpoint presentations to take the place of my slide lectures. I will be glad when the text is finally put to bed; it's not much fun. But the Powerpoints have been very fun. Gavin and Phillip have tutored me along the way and I am a whiz now. So those will continue for the rest of the summer.

YES! Persistence pays!
The Young boys rolled straight out of bed for the event
The sad day of departureIt has been a fantastically fun few weeks and when everyone has returned to real life, we will be very lonely here.
That's all for now.

We would love to have you then. We have no expected visitors then. We thought you were coming in August. Why not do both?

It looks like a grand old time. I love the photos, especially downward dog.
