May...what a month!

Sorry, it's been a long time. I will be filling you in on our family's activities. Cheating though...looking at my calendar. Some days I can't really even read because of all of the writing.

Rachel, Sara and Aletta played soccer through the month. The girls had a lot of fun playing. I am not sure if both of us will coach again in the fall. It was like we lived at the soccer fields at times.

Rachel tried out for the Blackman Middle School basketball team. She made it. Practices started up right away in anticipation of a summer league. The team is smaller this year, so we hope Rachel gets more playing time.

Leah continued to take voice/piano from Jackson studios. The teacher has been her choir teacher at school. Leah had her year end recital on May 18th.

Tuesday evenings were extra busy. It's the evening for youth activities, etc. Leah and Rachel had a few meetings that focused just on Young Women's Girls' Camp preparation. They did activities like dutch oven cooking and first aid. Sara also came along to the activities when Faith in God for girls was meeting. She absolutely loves it...just wishes that it were every week like Young Womens'.

As for me, I was busy with chauffering kids around, etc. I did help out with Aletta's 1st grade Fun Day on May 23rd. The teacher was fine with Anna coming too, so I was able to be a parent helper. May 24th, Nathan, Leah, Rachel and I had fun slopping water on other people's cars. The car wash was the Young Women's fundraiser for camp.

Finally, the last day of school was May 28th. It was a 2 hour day to pick up grades and say good byes to teachers.
