Summer news

Well we are busy with summer things. June is going to be a very busy month. Jacob has decided that he would like to try boxing. There is a program through the rec center. The guy who runs it has been doing so for 12 years, he has 3 son's who participate and his oldest son is in the Olympics. Jacob had his first practice yesterday. They practice 4 times a week for 2 hours! Jacob is very sore today:) I think it will be good for him. They talk allot about respect for others and yourself and discipline to do what you want and stay with it even when it gets hard. Right now he is in the non-competitive. We will see how he does and if he wants to maybe try competitive later.

David is taking swimming lessons 2 days a week at the therapy pool right down the street from us. His friend Matthew is also taking them. Yesterday was also his first class. He has a really good time in the water. He can blow bubbles and lets me dunk him. He is also still doing his music class, with Matthew also. That is on Wed. and then we usually have lunch with Grandma.

We are going to try and take a vacation in July. We are thinking of going to Yellowstone National Park. I hope we can go, it seems like a long time since we have been on a vacation all together.

We are also lucky that the tornado that went through here did not come to close to us. Marc was working in Windsor when the tornado struck. His car got some pretty good hail damage but that was ok, because he was ok. We have not been to Windsor to see the damage but we did drive out of town a little ways and saw 2 farm houses that were pretty much demolished. It's amazing what wind can do. One person died in that storm. We have of course been hearing so many stories about how people survived and what they went through. Incredible!

That's all for now. I will hopefully have some new pictures to post soon. Hope everyone is doing well. Take care.
