A long overdue update

Well, it has been quite a summer and thankfully it isn't quite over yet. Summer 2010 was mostly spent swimming - well, for Laurin anyway. Her summer swim league had meets almost every weekend, culminating in the State Champs at the end of July. It was a great season and she is ready for the Fall/Winter season now. Thankfully, meets are only about onec a month instead of every weekend.
July 12th-17th, we made a quick trip to St. Louis to visit with everyone. It was a wonderful trip, but too short. Yesterday, we got to spend time with the Lium side of the family up at Lake Texoma. It was a wonderful day....even though one of the hottest days of the summer. So thankful to be able to beat the heat in the water.
Up next is a trip to North Dakota for Laurin. She is going along with Grandpa and Grandma for their 50th High School reunion. Should be a fun trip.
Laurin is excited to start her new intermediate school (5th and 6th grade), and is anxiously awaiting the start of school on Aug. 23rd.

He was busy during the meet as well, he was an official all three days. Too bad he may be banned for wearing coconut suspenders. LOL :-)
