Happy Father's Day Tom!

The kids were ALL at Camp last week and we finally were all back together for a couple of hours yesterday.  I was able to wrangle a picture because it was Father's Day :) We tried to go boating but Frederick wasn't feeling well (doesn't look it in this picture but by then he'd had some food, rest, and medicine) so Frederick and I stayed back at camp and the others (plus a friend) went out to the lake. There were a few gifts: A UTC DAD t-shirt and grill cover. (Margaret is there. . .hidden by Marie) Reflecting, as I often do in the early morning, I came upon this: November 17, 1998 - probably about 6 a.m.  I know we became parents when we started caring for my body and the child growing inside, but this was the last picture taken of "just the two of us".  My mom, dad, and sister were all there that morning. . .we had arrived at the hospital sometime before 5 and at this time the baby was still named "Amy Robert" -- ha!

Friday Favorites - the best of May 2017

What a month May 2017 was!!!  If I *had* to pick a Picture of the Month it would be this: A graduate , three more to go, and I don't think I have a *single* picture of the dog in a group picture. But then there is this: Thomas, Frederick, Margaret, Marie - camp 2017 CAMP !!!  We were there as a family mid-month for their 75th celebration and I just got home from there again yesterday because I was doing some work during training week, which is happening now.  The three older ones are there for the summer. . .Thomas is a counselor, Marie a junior counselor, and Margaret a CIT (counselor-in-training).  Frederick leaves to go -- as a camper -- next Sunday.  We LOVE CLC.  This was a Picture-of-the-Day Wednesday night, as the counselors and jr. counselors were worshiping together by the pool. They have quite a crew serving this year. . .two years ago I had the idea to do biographies on each of the counselors and last year decided hang them on the wall of the dining hall so
