Is it summer yet?

The clan is coming off a busy weekend...

Friday night we had a Girl Scout campout. Unfortunately the weather channel hour-by-hour report showed rain, rain, and you guessed it...RAIN! The girls pitched tents in a basement, and the moms slept in the family room.

Saturday the girls arrived home and Mom and Michael John took off for his lacrosse game. Afterward, we had a Mommy and Michael John trip to Giant so he could pick out his menu for his family birthday celebration. He wanted pizza...Papa Johns and english muffin pizza! He also selected an ice cream cake (with BLACK writing) and an ice cream sundae bar! YUM YUM!!

We had a fun evening with both sets of grandparents, Uncle Joe, Matt and Abby. MJ was thrilled to receive a Joe Flacco Ravens jersey.


Sunday was all about Carolyn. We all dressed in red for Pentecost and went to mass. Then the running began. Carolyn's extra class performed in the 1:00 recital and her main class performed in the 5:00 show. If I can get this blogging thing down, maybe I'll figure out how to post videos!
My Aunt Ruth visited from Connecticut to see the show...she has been a dancer for years! We reconvened at the house and gabbed until well past midnight.


The weekend was a blast, but no rest for the weary. The last of the family departed Monday at 4 pm...and summer swim team began at 5:30. Carolyn and Michael John are both on the Forest Hill team this summer...GO FROGS! They have practice every night for the next 3 weeks until school lets out...yes school does not end until June 19th...ugh!





Mom managed to fit a few runs in this weekend and was back at Boot Camp today at 9:30. Tonight was the juggling act...Carolyn's swimming was 5:30 to 6:30 and Michael John's lacrosse practice was from 6-7pm.





Well there you have it...I'll try and keep this updated to stay in touch with our extended family!
