Coming home
It's been a week of travel for most of us. I had a trip early in the week, Mom went to Florida to look after Ann and the ladies, Mary Ellen returns tonight from a few days in Massachusetts, and Sean returned last night from a week at camp with the scouts. I'm pretty confident that no one else in the family has or will return with as many soaked and muddy clothes and shoes as Sean did.
Erin
We took a quick trip up to visit with Kevn and Dy and meet Erin. She's a cutie, and was really good about letting the kids hold her. She's sleeping though most of the night, which may explain why Kevin and Dy looked so sane and rested.
...actually, it was Dy who looked sane and rested.
...Katie and Erin hit it off early.
...Sean was a little more tentative.
... Kevin teaches Sean Amazing Grace
... Mary Ellen responds to the kids' plea for another sibling...

Summer update
Soccer and baseball finished before school ended, and both Katie and Sean had successful seasons. Katie has been babysitting pretty regularly during the days, and spending lots of time with her friends. Sean has been to overnight camp and skateboarding camp, and is all set for another week at camp with Scouts.
Christmas in July
Rather, Christmas in December, 1999. The kids were probably a bit overwhelmed - a new place, with lots of snow, new faces, different language.
